Finally worked out how to do a single wiper conversion without needing an Uno motor assembly.

What you do need however is a second cinq centre spindle.

Method

Grind the bottom off the spindle so that the spindle can be tapped out of the arm.

Cut the small ball (painful) off the arm. I cut the arm rather than trying the hardened steel ball.

Drill another hole immediately inboard of the original hole.

Form the arm to match the arm currently attached to your wiper motor, basically invert the bends.

It may help to grind the end opposite the ball to ensure it too misses the mounting screws.

Replace arm on wiper motor with your newly fabricated arm. The extra throw allows the existing centre spindle to travel further.

DO NOT be tempted to use the existing hole in the replacement spindle, the throw is too great and it will foul on the mountings.

Remove drivers side spindle and arm, fit grommet in hole.

Dredging up an old thread, yes, but at least I did a search

Could I use a piece of Meccano to lengthen the arm?

Need to be quite thick Meccano, the amount of torque that motor kicks out is enough to take your finger off.

sorry to drag this up but can you not just redrill the existing passenger side spindle?

Do you mean the arm, if so, not enough meat on it.

This might clear things up a bit!



You need to make the spindle on the left look like the right on the right.

Press that long rod out
Cut that extra lug off
Press the ball out and press it back in the other side, so the curve is the right way up. (i.e. same as the one on the left)

Thanks
