Title: wiper motor Post by: Andy c on January 18, 2009, 04:21:02 PM has anyone got a wiper motor to fit a left hand drive
Title: Re: wiper motor Post by: Thotos on January 18, 2009, 04:35:11 PM Are they different to motors on right hand drive cars? I thought motors were the same and only the linkage is different. Can you post a photo of your motor? I have a new motor somewhere...

Title: Re: wiper motor Post by: Andy c on January 19, 2009, 07:22:24 PM well have taken the motor and linkage off and the motors are the same but the linkage is handed

Title: Re: wiper motor Post by: Thotos on January 20, 2009, 12:33:23 PM and i do need the linkage to. Why? What has gone wrong with the linkage? Usually the only thing that happens to the linkage is wear in the plastic inserts. These used to be available on their own and I have a bag of them somewhere? ::) Below is a bad photo of one which I have in my desk draw at work. Now why I should have one of those in my office desk even I don't know!? ::)? Especially since it was over 20 years ago since I took it to work as a sample to buy some and we've moved offices 3 times since then but the little plastic insert has followed me faithfully!? ;D Title: Re: wiper motor Post by: Andy c on January 20, 2009, 06:06:47 PM the top of the spindle just seem to come off in my hand while i was in the middle of romeny marsh 10oclock sunday night while i was trying to get the wipers to work in a down pour ::)

There are two kind of pins, the little ones that are in the leverage system and the two big ones that fit in the body and keep the wiper blade steel axles. The motor side plastic pin will wear more rapidly than all others, and it could be interesting for all the forumers to know how to obtain them.

They certainly used to be many years ago but I doubt that they can be obtained now.

Title: Re: wiper motor Post by: 131DHOC on January 23, 2009, 08:13:51 PM I have a friend who is looking for a couple of new plastic bushes for his 131, I refer to the two plastic bushes crossing the body under the windscreen and holding the wiper's axes. They are keeped in place by two plastic bolts. Does anybody know if they are the same as other's fiat models? The driver's side bush worned out severely because it holds all the motor's torque. Thank you.
Title: Re: wiper motor Post by: 131DHOC on January 24, 2009, 03:15:06 PM Anybody know anything? My friend uses his car daily and in rain times it's a pain hearing how it squeals, no matter the grease he puts. This thing moves and vibrates because of the wear.
