Good luck finding some! Remember normal saff ones are different to cosworth items and will need chopping about to fit the grill on...

I can assure you that they are a bit different. The glass/body its-self are the same but you have to chop lots of plastic off the top left hand corner if you want to fit the cosworth grill on.

I put a Cossie grille straight on my twin cam Saph, no mods required!

Perhaps hatches have different housings as the have a different bonnet after all.

The wiper stop is abit of sprung metal that locates in a slot on the underside of the light, along with the other slots for the wiper mechanism.
I find my wipers well useful at this time of year, 2 to 3 goes and there is a very noticeable difference in light as they get dirty so easy with spray etc.
I'm sure hadrian do the lights pattern, I also had to trim mine to fit, but put a 10mm nut under each tab of the grille to hold it out slightly, fits just that bit better.
