Winshield Wiper Hole Location

My new body came without the wiper holes.

I need the exact location of these holes, and I hope one of you can give this too me.

I would prefer not to try to figure it out for myself, the body is just too pretty to make a mistake.

Thanks

Shep

The FFR wipers came with a guide jig. I'll see if I have the instruction with where to jig goes. I'm pretty sure it also gave the measurements if you don't have the jig. I gave my jig to another club member. It goes from the lip back toward the windshield for the correct spot to drill.

Measure twice, drill once and make sure you have the drivers side and passenger side correct. Ask me how I know.

Also cover the area's your going to drill with painters tape, and use a couple layers. If the drill or jig slips there is a lesser chance of damageing the paint.

Double Ditto...my car was nose-first in my garage for over a year. A few days before I did the wiper cuts I backed the car in for some reason. In my mind the PS and DS was on the opposite side. I drilled them wrong. The only good news: It was before paint. So I'll just fill the hole. I have a SS gromet in there now. Actually looks kinda cool (I tell people its my Nitrus purge valve).


Good luck. One thing, the Jig they supply (and I still have mine if you need one) really isn't great. The angle isn't quite right and the hole they have you drill isn't quite big enough. I spent some time filing it open a bit more to get it right. FWIW.

You should have one of these wiper hole jigs?


They came with the wiper kit, if bought from FFR. You need to get this correct angle on the hole or your wiper pivot (wheelbox) will sit funny. As mentioned, you need to further ream out the hole, so try to keep the same angle while doing this.

LOL.. I suggest you don't throw anything away, until the car is finished, and on the road.. as you never know what you might need..
