For those who have wipers fitted to your Triking:
Do you also fit washers? I can't see any obvious ones fitted in the various photos
If not, how do you manage the annual UK MOT?
Thanks

Re: Windscreen washers
Hi Rob
You'll need washers for the MOT. I've done mine with an electric pump and long hose to a nozzle on the bonnet. The long hose enables you to lift the bonnet up and detach the hose from the nozzle - it's a plastic hose so easily pushed on and off. I set mine some distance along the bonnet as I used a single fitting with two outlets. Close up below to show the nozzle on my old Triking.

Definitely fit washers.
When you get sprayed with road filth you will need them.
I fitted a generic electric unit with 2 nozzles. Switched on the dash with 2 position switch. Wiper, wash/wipe.

Re: Windscreen washers
Thanks for the tips. I was thinking of using "on arm" washers but the ones slightly angled under the wiper arm look a good solution. Fortunately I have nearly 3 years until the first MOT!

Re: Windscreen washers
You may well need them well before the mot is due
