Thanks guys for the replies.
In the parked position, correct for the wiper arm/blade is wrong for the spindle to engage, and vice versa - with the spindle correct for parking, the wiper blade wants to climb off the screen onto the bodywork.
In terms of the wiper action, this is fine, it has a very good sweep across the screen, as good as it can be, so this is not the problem. (Yes, I have seem the Cornwall site - this is not the issue I am experiencing).
It seems to be the geometry between the spindle & the wiper arm/blade, hence I wondered if there was an off-set on the original wiper arm, such as being underslung at the pivot point.
My arm has a length of 8" and the blade the same, a shorter arm would move things back - what arm lengths are typically being used?
