as for interchangable parts
 
I found that much of the interior parts such as
door handles, winder mechanisms and arms, wiper motors, door locks, ignition switches, seats, and I think the brake cyclinders from a G60 patrol will all fit a thousand!
They were made at the same time, so it makes sense that they would share parts.

Howdy all, it's been a while! Dredging up an old post here, but...
Does anyone know what other external wiper arms would fit a Thou, besides the G60? The arms from the P410/411 and SP/R311 at least have the same spline connection (and are at least available on the interweb), but are they the same length? What about other, more readily available makes/models?
Alternatively, has anyone got any tips on making the blades give a clean swipe above 20mph? Not that I drive out in the rain intentionally (anti hoon laws and such), but on occasion when I do get caught in a shower, the old and tired tension springs just don't do their job effectively anymore!

bump on these questions btw...
cheers.
