You'd need a wiper motor that travels close to 180 degrees :? then you would have to check legality.

I don't reckon it could work, the screen is not like a modern car which is about as tall as it is wide

If you use early wheelboxes with a Clubby motor you will get ~180° sweep. I know this because the wife's Mini has it... :P

The best modification for the wipers on a Mini is to pull them apart and clean off the 40 year old grease and apply fresh stuff.

Nothing to see, it is a 67 body which has the stock RH park wiper setup, but the PO fitted a clubby 2 speed motor. :evil:
One day I'll put a square motor back on it... :lol:

I get cha, for some reason I thought u moved the wiper in the middle of the car, But what your saying is you put a late model wiper motor that parks on the oppisite side, and it moves 180degres?
