Wiper linkage
There are only two that hold it to the chassis. Both are on the same part of
the bracket. I just went out and looked at mine again to remember what I
did. You can bend the bracket to draw the holes in where the original bolt
holes are. once you have the bracket in place with the linkage all in place
you see that you have to move them about a half inch to get everything to
line up. on one of my cars I just installed the linkage and did not modify
the bracket to see if I would have problems. I have been running the car
for more than a year with out any wiper related issues. It is not bolted to
the chassis and there is no movement in that area when the wipers are on.

George,
It fits in fine. The modifications come in the mounting as the holes
for bolting it down are in different locations. You either have to
extend the brackets mounting points, or create new mounting holes
(threaded) in the rain tray. You also have to find material to close
the hole that is left when you delete the second wiper. I used the
plastic bushing that was on the hole and added a plastic cap piece
from an office chair that was no longer in use. (can snap a picture if
needed).
This is an easy mod. Remember that the 82 and 83 MKII's had this from
the factory.
HTH,
Dave
