RP Windscreen wiper assembly

[Mike Costigan]

Yes, I think so too. I have just been out to trial fit the thing and the plot thickens -

The wiper motor fixing holes in the top windscreen rail are obscured by the top of the lip of the windcreen aperture when the windscreen is shut. There's no way the motor will fit as the spindle and screw threads will prevent the screen closing properly. I'm going to have to have a look at someone else's car to figure this one out.

I don't think the RP was ever fitted with an electric wiper; the vacuum wiper is a much slimmer unit fitted by set screws rather than studs, so fitting a Ruby unit will require some ingenuity.
