These are the reasons I can see for using Lucas system:

Tried and proven, you don't have to re-invent the wheel
Original style
Spiral wound drive cable and bundy tube housing takes up very little room compared to level arm
Lucas system is an easy type to modify/supply to correct wiper arm spacing
Lucas system is an easy type to modify/supply with correct sweep
Lucas system wheel box shafts fit directly onto little Trico Stainless wipers, Wipers are supplied with adaptors to fit to other shaft types.
Wiring is easy
Easy availability for nice looks chrome bezzels to fit over wheel box shafts
Easy to space to right angle and distance from body.
Parts are readily available, will always be able to buy new parts for this system.


Personally I wouldn't skimp on wipers. When you really need them, you really need them to be reliable.
