Re: [T3] wiper question(s)

A photo I have of a RHD 69 Type 34 shows them parked on the right.  That
sounds like the situation with yours.  Have a look at the 71/72 Type 3
wiper arms; they might be what you need (scrap yard?).

Wipers weren't LHD or RHD on 'normal' Type 3s, but I couldn't say for Type
34s.
Through 1970 they all parked on the left.
>From Aug 70 they all parked on the right (as seen from driving position).

Parts book says for Notch, Fast and Square backs:-
To July 67: same both sides, 311 955 407A;
Aug 67 to July 69:  407B left, 408 right;
Aug 69 to July 70:  407C left, 408C right.
Aug 70 to ? 72: 407D same both sides.
?72 to July 73:  black, with black plastic cap; same both sides.

However, the ones on my son's '70 model Fastback are the same left and
right!


Otherwise change the way the bend goes.  Heat it nice and hot on the bend
(gas blowtorch is fine for this) , and bend it the opposite way.  Adjust it
until you are happy with the angle.  Clean heated area well and repaint
silver.
