Hi,
Can someone please let me know how the rubber hoses route to the wipers. A photo or two would be really helpful. Mine were removed before I bought the car and now it is due an MOT I need them back on. I cannot work out how they should route from the T piece at the bulkhead. I have also bought some spray clips for my wipers for the hoses to attach to
Thanks

I think it runs down the passenger side cable tied to the chassis rail past the battery, then across to the other side along the rails by the radiator and then into the headlight cubby hole through the same hole as the wiring and down to the pump/reservoir.

Thanks. I was actually trying to find out how the tube gets from the bulkhead up to the wipers. The removable piece gets in the way and also folds over the lip in the bulkhead.
Cheers.

They come up through the slots, the only PITA is that you have to disconnect them every time you remove the scuttle panel. The joint is just out of sight under the bonnet. I also tie wrap then to the wiper arm so they don't flap around.

Great photo. -thanks for that.
I was kind of hoping they somehow did not go through the scuttle panel and have to be disconnected each time.
The cable ties are an excellent idea.
Cheers

Tidy! What jets did you use? And how did you mount them? ...pics appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Standard twin jet stuff, attached with a nut at the back provided with them from Halfrauds.
Once fitted there's no messing about when taking shuttle panel off, and no dribbling on the screen like the original ones.
Can't really take photos to help, they wouldn't really show anything of use.

Those look great. Where exactly are they mounted?

Excellent idea!

With the relative upright windscreen of the Cerbera, I assume they work well?

The sprinkling hoses are a good idea in an open top car, to prevent spraying the occupants, but I honestly never understood the point of using them in the Cerbera. Unless I misunderstood something?

Understand the jets, but cannot fathom what you are mounting them to. In my car there simply is nothing there to mount to, just a big void.

Mine is a Mk2 and the panel is different to a Mk1. If you have a Mk1 I'm not sure if it can be done.

Aha, that explains it. Thanks!
