Anyone know where there is an exploded veiw/pic of the wiper assembly arms that are under the cowling ? with part no's would be even better :bow:

Some kinda knuckle joint has just fell apart and the wipers don't move, but one of the arms underneath does :(

cheers

its meant to break away its a friction joint, it stops the wiper linkages from snapping if the wipers get stuck, just rehook it back up and you are set,

 

you may have to have the wipers on to get it realigned, takes about 30 seconds to do and a little bit of force,

Thanks Mike, i know from my old silvia days that when this happend there is a knuckle type joint which literally falls apart as it was worn and a new one is kinda forced on, it is where the 2 underarms are linked together.

Ive got a full zx manual on cd that shows exploded views of eveything, PM me your address and ill send you a copy if you want, also lots of cool pics and a few of the early ads :cool:

Cheers Pete, but i looked at the manual on Andyp's site and i can't find this area under the cowling anywhere on it :cry:

what is it you are looking for? i cant find an exploeded view of it but i can probably draw it :D

 

 

if you take the cowling off, the bar coming off of the motor sits on top of the ball like joint on the linkage coming off of the wiper assembly (i think its that way around), the bar from the motor may be out of place at the top, turn the wipers on and see what moves, then grab that bit and feed it onto the wiper arm assembly, it doesnt really need to be pused on hard, it usually only breaks if wipers gets stuck, or has that section acrually broken?
