I hate to even ask as I've probably overlooked this, but does anybody have info on where to locate the windshield wipers. I have the hole jig but don't know where to put the holes.
In the wiper kit there is a crudely drawn sheet with measurements on it. I think I've tossed mine, but let me see if it's in the on-line files on the FFR site.
Update: The drawing is in the file located here: http://www.factoryfiveparts.com/content/instructions/15549-roadster-wipers.pdf
There are locations in the instructions. You can download them if you didn’t get them. That said, FFR instructions have them offset to the drivers side, which probably functionally makes sense. I followed the instructions, but later on, looking at pics of original cars, saw they are placed symmetrically on the body, not off set.
Are you doing stripes? Want the wipers to line up with the stripes? Concerned about aesthetics or function?
A few things to think about.

When reading the instructions, don't overlook the difference between MK1, 2 and 3 vs MK4. There's a 7/8" difference.

Thanks for the info. Really helpful. I'm trying to place several thing before I do some modifications and don't want to be surprised later.
