For the wipers you can use standard VW wiper arms. Bus wipers arms also work well. You can also get universal ones (I got them at Pep Boys). Check out www.egauges.com for lots of great wiring tips. For the oil pressure: Did you apply any sealant to the threads of the sender? If you did, it must be removed. I also assume you are using the correct sender for a gauge...and not for the indicator light? It sounds like incorrect wiring or possibly a faulty sender. Amp gauge needs big wire...maybe 10 gauge or larger. The egauges site will have the correct diagrams. |

Yeah! After three iterations I think I have got my wiper arm problem solved! ;D
When I got the car it had arms made of two VW arms, but because of the extended length, the connection at the base and arms themselves were too flimsy.
I then got a set of Trico adjustable arms, but again it was at the extreme of it's available length and the springs didn't hold them against the windshield well and the set screws just didn't work well so they would slip on the shafts. I fabricated new arms but the base problems still persisted!
I saw posts about "Amco" arms, but found out that the company is actually "Anco." Decided to go with model 41-03 because my application would be at the lower end of the adjustable length instead of the upper end and they had a larger base and stronger spring/arms. I ordered them through Pep Boys but they are much cheaper through Amazon.
I expected that it would have several adapters with set screws again, but it only had one cam adapter designed for a tapered shaft. After looking at my shafts carefully, I noted that the base of them had a taper, which would fit tightly. In the end I had to thread the shafts to use them, but now have very solid wiper arm assemblies.

Just adding pictures for the previous post. Sorry the first one is a bit blurry, but it gives you the idea.   |

My right windshield wiper blew off on the highway. I stopped by a custom shop and found a very nice long replacement for the _left_ side that covers both sides. So cool. Now I have a single-wiper setup!

So mj, did you do something with the stub on the right side? Or does the GT II have cowl that covers the blades in the resting position? Just curious!
Regards,

Amp Gauge.. The hot wire from the bat goes to the + side. if you wire it backward, when you turn on the lights, it will show increased voltage. I believe my - side also has a green wire going to it( all acessories should feed from the - side of the gauge) The gauge simply breaks the + wire of the bat into You have bat voltage on the + side And anything that draws voltage on the - side.
