Wiper Spindles

Having fitted the windscreen yesterday, today it was time to remove it! - But not before marking the holes for the centre stay bracket:

Having marked out the positions for the wiper spindles yesterday it was now time to cut them. Having drilled a hole, this needed to be opened out to fit the inclined wiper spindle. Using one of the spindle spacers I measured the angle - cut a piece of MDF to suit and taped the Dremel onto it:

The Dremel with a small sanding drum made light work of opening out the hole and the first spindle was easily fitted (you will need to cut the spacers down to suit):

And then repeat for the other side:

Whilst I remembered I made a template for the screen stanchion fixings and drilled some new holes in the column support bar:

The final job of the day was to do three gel-coat repairs on the scuttle roll and one on the bonnet reveal - these should be cured for finishing tomorrow (Heater in garage now after last time!)

Now the forecast looks dry for Saturday do that's the day I'm planning to finish compounding and polishing the body. I going to do it outside this time after the mess in the garage after the last time!

So jobs to do are to sand down the gel-coat repairs I've just done, remove the front lights, put the wheels back on and jack the car down off the axles stands and cover up the engine bay.

The garage could also do with a clean out when the car is not in it!
