Windshield Wiper mounting location measurements needed...

Mike Braddock · #1 (**permalink**) 09-28-2002, 08:43 AM

We are preparing to install the windshield wiper kit we purchased from FinishLine but the location of the wiper boxes as per our manufacturer (Everette Morrison) seems to bias the drv's side about 6 inches. So I wanted to ask if any of you could make a quick measurement from the end(s) of your windshield to the approx. location of your wiper shafts. Also, approx how far away from the base of the windshield are the shafts? Finally, can anyone tell me how far these wipers move as they sweep across the windshield? Ie 110 degrees, etc. Thanks so much for your help!

Mike:
On my hunter they are centered. 16 in between wipers.
They are located 3 in from the edge of the engine opening and also 3 in from the edge of the windshield.

Thanks Niles. I mounted mine to a scrap piece of fiberglass I had and measured the swept angle to be 115 on low and 118 on high. Thanks again!

Hi Mike,

I've got an E-M with factory drilled wiper holes at 20 3/4" O.C.

I don't have the windshield installed yet, but the distance back from the hood gap is 2 3/4" to the center hole and 3 3/4" to the driver side hole.

I can try to e-mail you a picture if that would help.....
