I will be putting a single wiper scuttle with wiper up for sale off my Dads mk1 in a few months if you can wait that long. It would be a straight swap. Will just need welded in and wired up

Dont do it  :(
But you can modify the mk1 linkage to a single wiper.Simply extend the  linkage on the frame that you will be using for the wiper  arm by 12cm and you'll get a full sreen wipe.Done one years ago, got a guy to weld the extra on and it cost a couple of quid.

Not done a DIY single wiper conversion but I do have a Mk1 with a single wiper, which comes as standard. TBH with the other Mk1s having 2 wipers, I'd prefer both of them! So I echo the above advice.

I looked at doing this as I like the look of them, sat straight up the middle of the screen, but the wieght saving on the 1 arm was tiny and i got told by a number of folks who had been there and done that it was a very bad idea and they had all either gone back to 2 arms, or wished they could.
