I've had wipers on an old mini that went the opposite way to normal, are you sure you used the original holes and have you used this wiper set up before you did the re-build?

It's the wiper setup from the car, but with new motor and wiper boxes. Except the tubes got bent whilst in storage and I had to straighten them a bit.

I seriously doubt it! |

What maccamcvey means is set the wipers to wipe with out the wiper blades on, switch off let them self park, then put your wiper blades back on, also check you have the right dia. wheel box's, I think the mark one box's are different.. Main Build

My car is a mk 1 mini and the wipers wiped the opposite way to the mk3 minis, but when I renovated the car I changed the position to the mk3 position by drilling a extra hole and welding the old one up.. Main Build

Looking at Andy's build thread and where the holes in the scuttle are, they should be parking on the passenger side. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

The reason they were changed was the old way used to only wipe half the screen in front of the driver.. Main Build

I'd go with you having the wheel boxes on the wrong side if the rack - easily done if you've had it stripped down.

bulkhead side of the rack as they rotate up and into the holes away from you as you stand infront of the car On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

I get what you mean now Dave, and they are on the way in your second pick. I have been fitting them with it in the park position.

Problem is I can't remember which is right, rack in front of or behind boxes - ill try and stick my head under a bonnet in the morning. This dawned on me last night whilst sat on the throne, I reckon I have the wheel boxes on the wrong side of the rack. Will have a butchers later on. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:
