[DeTomaso] ULTIMATE windshield wiper mechanism source

[SEL]

Phil - thanks for the suggestion - we tried that - we popped the tab off the gear, put it 180 degrees around, and then spun the gear around 180 degrees - we still had the problem, which led us to believe that it actually spins 360 degrees - thanks, sl

I grew up on Minis - when the gear got worn, we'd just take it off and spin it 180 degrees. The mechanism only uses half of the wheel so the other side of the wheel has no wear - or at least it does on a mini.

Julian - thanks again - sent you a separate note - All, is this plastic gear available separately here in the US from an aftermarket parts vendor? - or can one buy a refurbished Lucas wiper motor here in the US? - many thanks, sl

Stephen,

This plastic gear is the part that the teeth normally strip on; I suggest a 
cyber trip to ebay UK and you can pick up a used wiper motor from a Jaguar, 
Triumph or Austiin Mini for a couple quid (GBP Sterling). I got a NOS wiper 
motor this way for 17GBP or ~US$35.

[don't know if this embedded graphic comes through - does anyone have part
# 7 which is the gear that they are willing to part with? thanks, stephen]
