[DeTomaso] FW: Wiper Motors Thank you Julian

I have to admit I just went on the fact the motor in my '74 was 95 degree sweep, it is of course entirely possible that it was replaced at some point, although 95 degrees is not a common sweep. That said the motor I rebuilt yesterday from the GT5 (left hand park) was a 110 degree sweep. I hadn't considered the different parking locations would dictate different sweeps, but that does make sense and also that the right hand park would have a shorter arc against the A pillar.


Thanks for the update, I'm still learning a little every day!


Julian

Roland,

I’m not sure, but I *believe* the Panteras that park the wipers on the right side (later 73 and 74 USA cars only) have a different degree sweep?
