I'm not certain if this ought to go in my build thread or out here, but it will get more views out here, so with that:
I need to find the complete windscreen wiper/washer system for my car. I had a chance at one from another forum member, dragged my feet, and someone else got it (this is my fault and not the seller's, I will point out) We are now close to the point where we will have to fit this stuff, so the search begins in earnest now.
Some things worth mentioning: what I'd really like to find is modern Lucas parts that look like and fit and work like the originals, if that's possible. But I would like to know what's out there for sale, or any information that folks can provide to me about where to find all this. Note that my chassis was built by David Brown and the wiper motor should go in the curved bracket that he welded up in front of the firewall for that purpose.
I would need: the wiper motor, the wiper transmission (wheelbox and tube, or specs for how to make the tube here, which we could do), the toothed rack that goes inside the tube, the wiper arm, the wiper blade and a spec for the rubber that goes on it, the washer motor/bottle assembly, and possibly the bucket mount for the washer bottle that goes in the cover lid to the footwell. I have (courtesy of Andy Booth) the washer nozzle; we just have to drill a hole for it in the metal in front of the windscreen.
Advice, suggestions, slings and arrows all appreciated, as always.
