Just run no wiper at all. RainX on de windshield and go. Doing a single wiper for weight savings doesn't do much, you have to ditch the motor to get anything remotely measurable.

A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear

Yeah I intend to run RainX and FogX (as I dont have a demister). I need a window wiper to keep it road legal for when I do Targa events etc...

Just remove your passenger side wiper. It really isn't that noticeable.
And yes, 400g are important in most small engine classes, because saving 400g on 10 things make your car 4 kg lighter!
