On the list of winter jobs was to fix the wipers that didnt have the power to pull the skin off a rice pudding.
I stripped the motor to find work out brushes. These it seem are difficult to get for the 16w unit.
I tried the usual spots with no joy other than a complete unit for about a million pounds.
I finally got a brush plate assembly off paddocks. It came straight away but is different, in order to make it fit i have had to cut some notches out of the back plate and pack the whole plate up a couple of mm to allow the brushes to clear the motors aluminium body, i have managed to get these to sit at the correct place on the commutator and it works fine.
Just wondering really if anyone else has had these issues and how they have got over it???
Cheers,
James
