Did you purchase a new RH drive Windscreen Wiper Mechanism and Motor from Rimmer’s ex-India stock yet? If so, before you fit it, do yourself a favour and carry out some preventative maintenance.

Good advice Ramon. I refurbished my wiper mechanism recently,
as I'm too much of a tight wad to buy a brand-new one. Really
though, the mechanism worked pretty well so it more sensible
to refurbish.

Anyway, the only corrosion was on the passenger side. The rubber
mount was distorted by a seriously corroded steel collar. So bad
that it took quite a bit of effort to remove it. The rubber mount
really needs to be replaced, and I'm also going to replace the
steel collars with stainless versions when I get around to it.

OK why not - there are two so far - Wiper mechanism and Binnacles. - Planning on doing about a hundred and they will prolly end up on a new Blog or a new Website, but I have not hit on the format yet.
Have you got enough room?
Ramon
