Lucas wiper gears
Anyone able to provide contacts for sourcing the lucas gear drives to change the degree sweep I have from my wiper at present?
I have a 115 degree sweep and think I need around 100 - 105 degrees. I don't know exactly which sweep is best for my purposes but would look at buying a few gears at once to try. Can anyone suggest contacts, preferably here in Victoria but other sources would be useful I guess. Cheers |
Gday Stephen,
I think there is a way to alter the stroke on your existing gear - check out this link from the most imformative ERA web site: http://www.erareplicas.com/427man/wiper/index.htm |
Thanks Andrew
Had seen this one some time ago and am trying to do it with a little less fiddle at this time. I may still have to do something similar but will make it adjustable as Tony Cram did to get it completely right. Will see anyway. Cheers |
G'day Steve
I got my wiper stuff from Northern Mini. Unfortunately they advised me that I was "stuck" with the arm that I had - 120 degrees. I could've used thw wipers to indicate to turn right :) In the end I did the mod and changed the position of the arm on the crank. A little fiddly but it now works just as I wanted it too. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. |
Stephen, I have a 105 degree geared wheel (pic in my gallery) I am not fitting wipers at all so if you want I can bring it to Melbourne next month and you can try it out, if it works you can buy my complete wiper setup (second hand from mini) for the $65 I paid for it

Hi Sephen,
Stafford vehicle components in UK sell all parts for lucas wiper systems. I ordered parts from them and they provided very good service. Parts arrived at my door in five days. http://www.s-v-c.co.uk/SVCWIPERS.HTM |
Many thanks guys will follow up.
Boxhead as I have been out of work money is tight at present so I am not inclined to buy the whole wiper though thanks for the offer. Did look in your gallery and didn't see the unit anyway!? Cheers |
Not a problem Stephen, If you want to use it to see if it gives you the sweep your after then I still dont mind bringing it on holidays with me (just the gear) and you can test if it has the sweep you need.
Atleast then your search is narrowed down. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...64DSC00040.JPG |
