Are you talking about the jet bars that mount on the actual blades themselves? If so you need two plastic clips per blade and a short piece of hose to get the fluid up to them.

Blu3r they dont make the clips any more so ive been supplied with some cable ties. i'm not sure where to position them ie on the arms or blades.If you have them fitted could you post a pic.
Many thanks

Cheers Rob, what you have got there is the same as photo's that ive come across when searching but the photo below is what i have received from noble. I would just bodge them on but they cost me about £60 and would like to fit them as intented. I cant belive that noble just chuck them in a box without even a simple diagram.

A fair few TVR guys have changed their wipers like this: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Much better looking and spray than the original looped plastic.

I'm sure you can get them to fit the Noble.

That does look very different Steve so I can't really help any more. You could try giving Noble a call now everybody's going back to work?

Hi Steve, what my car has fitted is what you have bought. Incidentally when I bought my car the MOT had an advisory on it that a clip was broken from the passenger side jet and the garage replaced it so I assume it's a fairly generic part? I'll dig out the paperwork and give you the name of the place if you like.

Ok, excuse the filth, I took it out for a 15 minute blast last week as the tax is up and I had to SORN it the other day :-(



And here's the clip itself:



The MOT station that replaced a clip was (and you won't believe this!) Peter Smith Sports Cars, 55 Station Road, Hatton, Derby.

Hope that helps,
Rob

No problem, glad to help. To keep it all tidy (although a bit Heath Robinson) both tubes have been superglued to the underside of the wiper arms just before they meet the wide section that houses the spring. Stops them flapping around in the breeze I guess!
