Recently bought a Citroen CX washer hoop (the plastic hoop that fits to the wiper arm) off ebay for a few quid.

Its the same one that they fit to the Griffs etc, had to change the clips around as the wiper on the wedge is the other way around, but it then fitted perfectly.

Got a plastic tube Y adapter from the local autofactors for a few pence and plumbed it in tandem with the main water windscreen washer nozzle.

It all works great and puts water right where you want it on the screen, much improved.

Gotta watch as along with the alloy roof stays I am ever so slowly turning the Wedge into a Griff! I 'll be turning up to the Griff growl next........... ;-)

I did the same on my Tasmin using a Pug 405 washer arm. Bloody effective!

Been there, done that, it was good. However I went two years ago when they held it at Gaydon, what a dull venue, but I see they have followed our lead now.

Did the Griff washer loop deal about 4years ago. I think I got it through the TVRCC.

Do the Griff Alloy struts fit straight on?

Should have quoted mikeb, but there you go

Err'm well yes I might have muttered something like that in the ear of the guy making the new roof well the bastewards cost me enough from the breakers, gotta show 'em off!

The fitted just but I had to get the hole enlongated slightly as they were slightly longer than the standard black jobbies.

Anyhow Gandalf, any joy with the RAF roundals, bullet holes and the Audi stickers with crosses through 'em for the doors?
