I plan to instal a GTV6 wipers system, because if I let one wipers I want also simple central mecanism.
Last summer I brought my home this "wreck" of GTV6, note the rare Leister Bumpers.
It wipers system will be in my trackday.
On GTV 2.0 L wipers's motor is central the mecanism go to the right side wiper and then from the right side to the left side wiper.
I thought it's wasn't useful (weight regard I mean) ti have only one wiper and must leave the 2 mecanisms.
With the GTV6, motor is on theright hand side (like my Alfetta berlina 2000) mecanism from motor to right (or central) wiper and then a mecanism from right to left wiper.
With only one wiper I would let the right (central) one without left wiper and it mecanism.
I hope I'm clear enough

Good story!!!
The part that you don't know the english for is a "shim" or a "valve shim". They are used to adjust the valve clearance.

Your English is way better as my French....
Francais est une belle langue mais c'est tres difficile....
I can get around with the little bit i can speak, my last vacation was in Normandie and that was pretty good.

This tool is good if you want big holes but aluminium becomes very hot
Snow can cool it !
-500 grams, I think I will not use these parts with my new wheels (ET25) :
New wheels
