Thread: My little Series 2

If they’re 2 x functional FW2 wipers, then that is quite a valuable little spare window assembly you have there

Two is obviously better & safer. I upped my one with a LR cable operated two, which works off the one motor located in the LH "Glovebox" recess. Later suffix D.

Well, it looks like two is the right answer!!

Once I've finished replacing the RH swivel ball and adding the brake booster then the wipers will be next!

Well a couple of things off the list!

- Swivel Ball replaced
- Battery secured
- Salvaged a wiper motor (cleaned and greased), will be fitted tonight (new arms and blades on the way!)
- Brake Booster almost done!

Plan tonight is:

- Finish installing the wiper motor
- Rear licence plate light
- Front parkers
