Tech Torque Pre 1973 / 1966 2-Speed wiper motor question
« Last post by GtgBevitt on February 24, 2024, 05:31:40 pm »Hi everyone,
I’ve converted my ‘66 coupe to RHD, and I’m having trouble getting the wipers to sweep correctly.
Originally I thought it was a problem with where I relocated the motor, but what I’ve found is that the “park” location of the motor is further down the windscreen than when the motor is operating.
I have the park location correct, and at full sweep is good (parallel with the a-pillar). It’s on the downsweep whilst operating that only wipes to about 45degrees, rather than right back down to the bottom of the screen.
I’ve pulled off the cover and inspected all gears, everything appears to be working correctly.
I suspect it might be a length issue of the linkage (because I’ve converted to RHD might need modification), but with the max sweep and park location correct, I didn’t want to throw that out.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
