Hey Jay;

It took a while to find the photo...but Wow! What a cool car! I have no
idea where to find such a short w/s wiper arm, but I just wanted to say how
neat that Lola is!
The driver looks suitably stressed at the point when the photo was taken.

Good luck in your search for an appropriate arm!...
