Does anyone know what drive gear should be fitted? (Apparantly they come in a range of 90 to 130 degrees) I'm guessing 90 or 95 degrees would be about right?
What angle drive gear comes in a standard mini motor?
I assume the wheel boxes are standard BL mini types?
What type of wheel boxes, 32 or 40 teeth?
What type/size of arms and blades are suitable?
Any info out there?
thanks

I had a look at the few Sportsters with windscreen wipers and there seemed to be a variety of solutions. One of the guys that used three blades had taken one off as the motor was struggling to cope. So the best thing is to mock up what you want (blade positions and sweep angles) and then work it out from there. If you can get away with two this would seem the best solution.
I bought a brand new Lucas ww motor from Ebay for about £30 so there are some bargains if you look.
One other thing to keep in mind is that there are various different angles available at which the spindles can pass through the scuttle - dictated by the mounting bush.
