Wiper Blade Alternatives + Pipe Question

[ShiDevil]

Hi,

Couple of questions for the Speed 6 Brotherhood

1. Wiper Blade. My mate just ordered the following for his Cerbera. They look pretty good.

It's a little confusing looking for one for the T350. I guess the alternative is this from RaceTech, which does away with the loopy tube.

Anyone else find a better alternative?

2. I also wondered if anyone knows what the pipe is that goes from near the Manifolds, round the Camcover at the front and round the other side. I've tried to polish mine, and have given up, so am trying to source a new one.

Thanks chaps,

Steve

Hi Steve

I put in details of replacement wipers and washer system.

Steve, the pipe is the hot water feed into the heater matrix, they are available in SS from ACT I think.

I have recently ordered a set of the RaceTech washer jets when you add on VAT and delivery they are approx £13 more. I am still looking for the best option for the flat blades although I think the version quoted by Alex look good.

Thanks Chaps Ordered the pipe and thought i would order both blades, will check both out and send the one Im not going to use back. I'll let you know my thoughts.

Ant, should I worry about removing the existing pipe? Can I simply remove, or do I need to bleed, etc etc.

Yes, you will have to drain the cooling system somewhat to fit the pipe. Bleed as per normal.
