Hi all,
Currently reconditioning the wiper motor as it wasn't working. Have installed new brushes and had to replace one of the insulator t pieces on the brush set as it was broken.
one thing - the pack came with two red insulating pads in different shapes - anyone know where these should go?
the pads i'm referring to can be seen here : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lucas-Wiper- ... 4635767549

Re: red insulator pads - wiper motor
It might be that the other one is for a different design motor housing, that used the same brushes.
But I suppose the obvious question is ... Well what was in there before you took it apart...?

Re: red insulator pads - wiper motor
Very interesting video Berni.
Having seen it I would definitely have a go at refurbishment, before thinking of replacement, as and when the need arises.
Best wishes,
Mike.
PS: Is there meant to be an 'e' on the end of Berni? I've often wondered, I'm assuming it is short for Bernard.

It is short for Bernard, but no 'e'; in my youth, when I went for the shortened version, I was influenced by the Steak House chain....

Berni it is then, although by now you should have rebranded yourself to either Beefeater or Brewers Fayre...........
