Got this from the yard and at only $20.00 for the wiper arm and transmission you can't beat it.  It came from a 1993 Lexus LS400.  Dimensions are very similar to the Murci, it doesn't look exactly like it but I think if you wanted to modify it, it would be a good starting point.

That is an Audi A2 wiper arm , blade and mounting. The two arms are 10mm to long so means removing the pivot assembly out of the end and then cutting the arms down and re-inserting the pivots/wiper mount.

String, that is a RH drive car isn't it?

Yes, UK builder . I think I am a bit on my own over here doing a spaceframe build.

Great Job thanks for sharing ::toothy

Just a couple of pics of the wiper system I have installed. This uses the LP640 aero wiper blade and requires small modification of the wiper arm length. I like it , looks man enough for the car ::toothy


 full stroke.



Oooh , Red leather.

I have the following wiper arms I bought them for my build but will not be using them. They work better for the Murci. They are Maserati wiper arm. I payed $200 each for them, if any one is interested please shoot me an email, I have 2. I am still curious what everyone is doing for the wiper motor install on there Fiero based kits since the brake fluid reservoir will get in the way. Please post pic

I don't think not having a perfect wiper is going to prevent it from being a replica

You're not looking close enough, or because you dont have the two side by side you cant see the obvious differences. If you're looking for a wiper thats close, just about all the articulated arms are close enough. If you're looking for something accurate, you either have to buy the Murcie arm, or build one yourself. Some people are building kitcars, and some are building replicas. Its all about what works for the builder.
