Wiper Setup

[Frosty]

I have installed the Pilgrim supplied wiper kit and I have a problem.

I have drilled the holes into the body work but when I put the wiper gear into place the chrome fitment will not lie flush with the bodywork. I have tried extending the holes, put the gearing in all different ways, but to no avail.

Anyone got any ideas.
:f :}

You should not use the chrome angled shroud for the wheel boxes, Pilgrim suggest using 13mm heater hose cut to length and put over threaded part of wheel boxes and then pass through body and put nut on end. Bodywork is already angled so the chrome part is not needed.

Use a washer between the nut and the body or you'll knacker your paint / gel coat. Pilgrim use thin fibre washers as steel ones with the correct inside diameter have too big an outside diameter and look a mess.

If you've got their new build manual, its described in there.

Thanks for that.

It's so easy when you know how.

Always thought the manual might come in useful one day, I must read it some time (got old manual though).

Was going to say I will get onto this tonight, but England are playing so will do tomorrow.
