I am trying to fit wiper arms to these wheel boxes, these are the repro ones, OK these have a square spline, The arms don't want to fit with normal pushing, I don't want to bash them on ???????? , Am i missing something !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! , I hope these are not the RUBBISH REPRO again
Thanks

if the arms are like mine theres a small sprung tab so to put them on you sort of push across and down, it wont happen if you just push down.?

I would contact the supplier and ask about those square splines. They don't look right to me. I doubt a standard arm will fit and if there is a special arm for those splines, I doubt there is enough engagement between the parts for them to transmit torque and last.

I bought these of a member on here as used so you would think that the arms would fit???????, don't know who made them!!!!,( Yes they don't look right ) maybe just need to use brutal force,
I have just found the member in the old( for sale ), sent him a email to see if he can shed any light as these had been fitted, maybe fitted but not used ?????????, i will see what he says ????????

They were bought from MiniSpares and I used them for a couple of months on the rally car before going to a later round body 2 speed motor for a safety aspect. The arms I used had a cross head screw on them, you slackened the screw pushed the arms on them tightened the screw. Here they are on the car, best pic I could find sorry.

Think those arms with the screw are earlier mg midget as I have them on my van

Thanks Smoke Grey and 12G295
That clears it up, I will look for a pair of arms with the through bolt
