Ordering Superlight - wipers?

[Sean-og]

I want to order with Aeroscreen (interchangeable), thinking I can get a windscreen and hood later... but what about the wipers? The few Superlights I've seen that were ordered with an Aeroscreen had no wiper motor assemblies installed. It seems like the wiper motor assemblies would be difficult to install post-build. Anybody know more about this?

I was also considering Brooklands screens. They may look a bit out of place on a Superlight, though. I've never seen any Seven w/ Brooklands screens in person.

Have you seen pictures of a Seven with Brooklands? If not then look near the bottom of this webpage:
Phil's Seven

I think Brooklands look OK, but I prefer the simpler plastic or carbon aero's. If you are seriously thinking of getting a windscreen later then you should get the wipers, and consider the Caterham interchageable aeroscreen, or the similar (better?) but cheaper item here from Richard in France:
RiF aero

Yes, I've seen pictures of Sevens w/ Brooklands on the web, but frequently such things somehow look different when you see them in person. Anyway, I think I too prefer the look of the Aeroscreen, particularly on a Superlight. I suppose I should order the car w/ the windscreen, which will include the wipers and "scuttle bar", if for no other reason than resale value, and then contact Mr. in France about his carbon aeroscreen. It looks way cool, and appears to attach to the same points as the standard Caterham windscreen or scuttle bar points. Thanks.

The chassis is (so caterham told me) slightly different on a superlight without windscreen, making it almost impossible to install wiper motors, etc at a later date. You need to order one with weather gear and an aeroscreen to have the choice at a later date.

One last thing - if you do delete the wipers and fit a windscreen, come MOT time replace it with the aero, otherwise it'll be failed for not having wipers & washers for the screen.
