Wiper Blade set up.
Stephen,
There are (hmmm were??) plenty of threads on this topic. Blade length is normally 10" (250mm) some guys have run 11" blades. TRICO have a kit with adjustable wiper arm and connects to many blade types. Wiper angle can vary as windscreen angle varies. Be careful of this you may have to play around with the wiper cam to get the right blade sweep. From memory if your windscreen angle is around 55° a 105° wiper cam will work. I have a two blade setup but I built an adjustable cam to get the sweep right.
Don Pilling (Qld) has a diagram to set up both two blade and three blade setups with measurements, he also sells wiper kits (Reasonably expensive but they are new). If you want I can find the drawing, scan it and email for you. Send me a PM with your email.
H&H Spares (Jaguar) in Ringwood have Lucas wiper wheel boxes and cable wiper motors. I think the Marina set have the same set up. You may find the Mini set up has different wheel boxes (Number of teeth). You may want to get them to shop around for a good set. You want the 32 teeth wheel boxes as they match the cam angle in the wiper motor (ie cam will have 105° - 32T or similar)
Good luck. Try to get a look at someones car that has done all the work.
