Hi all, does any one know what degree wheel goes in a lucas two speed wiper for a Moggy. I have one in my saloon that works well so want to put one in the van. Pop the top off the saloon one and have a look, they are stamped I hear you say, Done that. No numbers on it. They are available from 90 to 130 in 5 deg incs.
Thanks

Are they ?? I dare say then the 130 will be fine - especially at the higher speed when there is always some 'over travel'......

Thanks but nope, the Burton ? book does say 150 deg but they only go to 130 and thats too much. unfortunately its not as simple as measuring the sweep on the screen either. By the way its late type.

120 deg gives a full sweep of the screen

And I expect when it's properly wet it will overtravel - hence the 110 I suggested a while back......
