Wiper motors

Because I've got both types of screen for my WLR, I'm trying to figure out how to fit motors to the wipers that can easily be removed with the full screen when I go on track days. From my last car I've still got a CBS set up (one motor plus a long flexible helical bar) but wonder if two separate motors will be easier to work with. So my question is, what cars have separate motors especially if they're nice and small with long spindles?

Rear screen wipers?





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Early series landrovers had little wiper motors that sit behind the screen

Some on ebay Landrover series 1 lucas wiper motors spares or repair on eBay (end time 31-Oct-10 18:18:28 GMT)

They have a switch on the back so just power and earth required, and of course the blades and arms.

Go for a single wiper blade and motor from a Fiat Uno, or Fait Fiorino van. Easy peasy to remove.

few problems may be two independant wipers swept area wont be able to overlap as may have phasing issues hence the area they cover might not be suitable.
how big is the WLR screen? if can find a comparable single wiper may be an option.

finally if went for a standard wiper setup could you fit some sort of small body mould/wind deflector where screen mounted which could have duel purpose of covering up the wiper splines with just the wiper arms removed?
