Supplier of Lucas wiper gears
David Jenkins - 14/8/09 at 12:07 PM

I now have an ex-Mini wiper mechanism, courtesy of ebay!

Next question - if I lay out everything the way I want, the standard sweep of 110 degrees is going to be too much - I need about 90 degrees. I know that the main gear that moves the rack back and forth can be changed to alter the throw, but I have absolutely no idea about where to find a replacement, or what to ask for. The only supplier I could find was MiniSpares, and they only have the same standard Mini one as I've got already (obviously!).

Any clues for a supplier, anyone?

And, before you ask - I'm an awkward beggar who gets an idea in his head and won't let it go!

How about re-drilling the arm pivot hole in the gear at the opposite side but closer to the centre, the re-fit the pin and arm, and you have a shorter stroke.
