Hi folks
My Roadster wipers do not cover the whole screen
The gear wheel is 120deg presumably a 130deg would help?
Not sure what its from so see attached pics
Anyone got one to sell please?

Re: Wiper Motor

First place to look is http://www.s-v-c.co.uk/prod_wipers.html They used to stock all sorts of gears etc.

Take care with the arc that the wipers travel trough, some arms may get too close to bodywork or bonnet for comfort depending on instalation.

Re: Wiper Motor

Hi Bryan,
I converted my Berlinetta to this sort of wipers system, I used the MGB wiper motor and Land rover Defender wheel boxes. This gave great results. I'm not sure this will work on your Roadster, but it may with smaller arms and blades.

Re: Wiper Motor

Marina wheel boxes are not the best...SVC do 32 tooth versions which give you better sweep with that motor (marina are 38 iirc). Also check the overall setup as loose wheelboxes & badly fitting/poorly greased cable/bundy tubes can lose you valuable movement.

Have a look at J&L Spares Export Ltd looks like it may be helpful.

Re: Wiper Motor

Austin Allegro has 32 tooth box and is dimensionally correct, i.e length of spindle. I fitted these to my Roadster .

Some defender wheelboxes on Fleabay,what length of spindle? as they look too long in photo!
Are splines a common size or would I be looking at different wiper arms as well if I go down that route?
