    Cortina mk1 Aeroflow RHD wiper mechanism.

    Going to put the steering wheel on the right hand side of my 65 Aeroflow mk1 cortina.
    need a right hand drive wiper arm mechanism to do this. Got a good motor, just needing the mechanism.
    anyone here got one spare?
    cheers

    You do realise the spindle holes are in a different place on the scuttle for left and right drive?

    Yep. Was hoping to overcome that with either shifting them or drilling new ones. Probably a minor technicality compared to modifying the dash board, wiring loom, moving under dash brace. Figuring out pedal box mounts. Replum brakes and clutch, remaking throttle linkage.
    It's all a pain but I prefer sitting on the right hand side of my cars.

    The dash is not a bad job to do, cut in the recess on the glove box and the same behind the speedo binicle. The shape on the top of dash changes from side to side. But with a bit of tacking and pulling it can easily be achieved. The joint on the top of the dash is covered by the crash pad anyway. The speedo binicle and glove box lid covers your joints on the front.
