Randy Flowers Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 I have recently purchased a 2020 Caterham 310R (Sigma engine) and my mechanic friend and I need help getting the windshield wiper assembly installed (it was not installed when the kit was put together) My Seven came with a box of parts for the windshield wiper assembly, but we are missing a number of pieces and we are also missing any sort of instructions on how to install the windshield wiper assembly. How would we find some sort of windshield wiper kit assembly instructions for a Caterham 310 Sigma engine Seven? Surely there are some sort of instructions for installing things like this. We are not the first one to do this and I would prefer to lean on how others have done it. Is there any sort of list for the windshield wiper assembly that lists all the needed parts/pieces as well? We are also very unsure as to where and how to mount the windshield washer reservoir bottle in a 310. Where (and how) do we mount the windshield washer reservoir bottle properly? Also, is there a central location to look online for instructions for various mechanical tasks on a Sigma engined 310 (like installing the windshield wipers, or installing a kill switch, etc)? Thanks! Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Budlite Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 (edited) Hi Randy. I removed my wiper assy and have attached a photo of the parts that I removed. The motor is clamped to a metal platform on the passenger side in front of the dash and has one connector. I made my scuttle top piece removable so the wiper assy was pretty easy to remove. The windshield washer bottle was originally in the boot which I thought was a ridiculous place to mount it. I moved it and the wiring/hose to the engine compartment. I've since removed it because I only use an aeroscreen now. You should be able to find the wiring connector and hose for the washer bottle near the fuel filler in the boot. There are multiple build guides in the USA7's library here: https://usa7s.net/ips/files/category/23-build-user-guides/ The wiper assy was preinstalled so you might not find detailed assy instructions.

Randy Flowers Posted October 23 Author Share Posted October 23 Awesome on the link to the build guides and assembly instructions! Found the 2018 Caterham Sigma 310 Assembly Guide. We have since yesterday gotten in touch with Josh at Rocky Mountain Caterham (where I bought it) and he is going to help us source the missing windshield wiper assembly parts we need, and he also told us the wiper fluid bottle goes into the boot. So, making progress Randy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
