I still can't find the "PLUG" for wiper delete
 

I have been to Home Depot and Lowes for this 1 1/8" plug, but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone help me? All my rear wiper does is collect dirt all day, and plus I want to connect the rear water pump to my Alta aftercooler.
thank you

I found mine at Lowes in the hardware section. They have drawers of special things, like clips, metric bolts, plastic washers, etc. I found it in that section. Plastic bag of 2.
good luck,

Listen Clownshoes....It's in the Mini Rear Wiper Delete section of the local ACE hardware store. That's the ONLY place I found it. Lowes and the Depot didn't carry it. But, hey....what do I know.:sly: :grin: :thumbsup:

Check Macmaster Carr or
 

other industrial supply firms. Might even be able to find it in chrome!

I found them at Home Depot and Lowes today. I found them in Black, White, and Chrome. I payed under a buck each. They were in the section where all the standard and metric bolts and nuts.

MarioKart can you post a picture of your mini with the wiper removed?

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Here is a pic of the plug. There seems to be less dust now that the wiper is gone.

Hmmm, I've got a wiper stalk that doesn't have the outside knob for the rear wipers.............. I think I'll have to try this mod out and see if the stalk works :thumbsup:

Honestly, I've never used the wiper, there's way too much grit on the back glass for me to dare try it :eek2: To many years of being around aircraft glass & Plexiglas. :nod:

mariokart- you're not a camera kinda guy are you? look at how you're
holding the camera! :lol: jk jk

that plug reminds of of the early civic hatchback standard model... the
DX/LX/Si came with rear wipers but the cheeze model had a plug just like
that.

LOL, I know I noticed the pic after I posted it and I was too lazy to take another one. It looks a bit gay. But any way I'm very happy with my new mod but I can't seem to stop getting the Alta sprayer to stop spraying everywhere. It is making a mess
M

Dood...I told you that mod would look good.:grin: Now, when are you coming back out here so I can get another ticket. Oh yeah....I got a ticket. Thanks for being a bad influence on me BTW.:thumbsup: :lol: Something like 84 in a 45. I think the radar gun was off.:sly:

:eek: :eek:

And I thought I was going fast at 69 in a 45 in Globe. Got a warning though:thumbsup:

I think I'll move the winged mini badge over the hole.

Hey justin how ae things going? I hope to be there in about three weeks. Since I bought the Mini in Sept I have been pulled over 9 times but only one ticket.

MarioKart, did you use any sealant with the plug?

Yeah, I used a water tight sealant made for window, that I bought at Lowes.
the whole mod including conecting the water tube to my Atla aftercooler took about 30mins.

You can do that, but it'll take a little work. The rear badge is a post mounted unit, so there are 2 posts on the badge and 2 holes on the deck lid.

It might look strange with 2 badges so close to each other. Now the lettering is a stick on application and easily removed. :cool:

I went to Lowes & that section of hardware was reduced to half an aisle...

I went to Ace & Home Depot & they only have 1" diameter...

It sure would be great if someone found a link to a Website that sold the 1.125" plug ; )

Check out the best parts place on the web :nod:

Search around for a finishing plug or plastic plug or something like that. You'll have to buy a 100 of them, butit could even be less then what HD charges for 1 package :roll:

Fag hands
 

Mario holds his beers like that too! :lol:

The wiper delete looks good though.

I bet you were foaming at the mouth when you were writing that. You dont' have to be mean just becaue you have a slower car.:grin: You know I don't drink beer, Jack and coke. Hurry up and get out here so we can race again.
M

I will be there this Saturday the 25th so get ready! :thumbsup: Remember it's a Wednesday car.
