Hi mick cheers for the info but my problem is I don't have the hooky wiper arms it's a flat end with a sliding lock I just can't seem to find a fitment the only other option would be to change to the newer spec wiper arms?

stuboy00, the short of it is you can only get reular blades as aero are not available for the FFRR. Original from Dan or Bosch as per these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300638543908?ssP...1423.l2649 |

@ stuboy00 Well i am guessing you have the same wiper arms as the rest of us and you have not done any mods to it , as above i always use the Bosch 808 wipers as they make a helluva difference …. |

Hi guys I really was hoping there was a mod or a way round the original wiper maybe the use of disco or sport wiper arms? |

Hi guys maybe I'm p*****g in the wind with this one but does anybody know if the wiper arms from a p38 would fit the l322 I know it's a long shot but it's worth a try?

No. Completely different - aside from the lengths. Comparing the P38 arms to the L322 arms is akin to comparing a bicycle to a construction truck. Not the same thing. |

Ok so if you look at my pics of Goliath you will see in pic 1 the wiper conversion the wipers I have used are p38 arms They are fully p38 wipers not hybrids can't remember if it's the O/S or N/S with the bend but you can pick up a couple of sets from the Bay of E for about a tenner use a 10mm drill to open up the spindle hole and there you have it no more thump thump thump plus a nicer more streamlined look

Thanks for the info - So you are drilling out the spindle holes? Are these not splined?!?

I butchered a set of aero blades from halfords to fit onto my arms. I took the arms back to just the metal and the holes, then dremmelled the wiper so that you could bolt through the arm and the wiper.
