wiper arms for S3C

[mannik]

Anyone know where the wiper arms come from on an S3c?
Isn't in the parts list on the web and have searched here without any luck.
thanks

I would imagine you could take one off and take it into your friendly car parts place for them to match it up as it doesn't seem to be anything too different.

Theres a coincidence - just ripped mine off on the way back from pistonfest - doh!

The Chimeara wiper arms fitted my old S3.

Are they a TVR-specific part? i.e. should I go TVR parts or can I pick up from Ford etc
many thanks

I have an S3c and just obtained some from TVR car parts. Nice arms but the hinge piece is quite deep so the top of the arm fouls the underside of the bonnet. Have filed the holes to make them site on further but not quite sorted yet!!

I thought I read somewhere that the wiper arms are off a mini? Don't know where I saw it, I might be wrong but it rings a bell deep in the recesses of my dopiness.

I read this thread also yesterday and thought mini, but brain fog meant I wasn't sure either.
Not sure if I think thats due to Steve Heaths bible - I think the mechanism is from a mini.

Looking at the height of the windscreen seems plausible though.

I think the mechanism is Mini(?) according to the alternative parts list but not the arms - read somewhere on here a while ago the arms were Peugeot 205...or at least these fitted

Anyway, were the parts ordered from TVR parts the Chimera arms or S3 arms?

Having owned several minis I can say the wiper motor is the same as a minis (though some people say the gears inside are different), but the arms are definitely too long to be from a mini. The previous owner of my S2 has fitted wiper arms from tvrcarparts and they fit fine. (partnumber TM0032, 10.89 ex. VAT a piece in 2005).
