windscreen wiper position

I'm hoping to get my windscreen on tonight and try to position my wiper bezels in the right place. I currently have a mini wiper motor and bezel kit etc. I'm thinking that this is going to have to be cut down.

Anyway what i'm after is any pictures people have of their wiper positions on the scuttle so that i can gain a rough idea of where i should be trying to put mine, i think when i get my screen on and lay the wipers on the scuttle i should get a better idea of where things will go but some pics would be helpful/inspirational.

Thanks (a hopeful) matt

Here's a gallery of images of Caterhams that obviously most have screens on!

Enjoy!

i made an internal panel inside the scuttle in order to stiffen things up. I mounted mine on this. there's a picture in my archive if it helps.

Those pics are great! thanks!!

Did you have to modify (or was it previously modified) the wiper motor arm (the long bit with the gear boxes/bezels on that comes out the wiper motor)?

Thanks for this, i feel confident in being able to get well on the way with this job

This is how I mounted the wiper motor. No modification required...
