Wiper Motor alternative

[ktwhite]

My wiper motor stopped working on my Tiger. Found a few places online that will rebuild but for about $300. My cable was also bad. Discovered Car Builder Solutions in the UK. They sell a 2 speed motor similar to the original. Comes with cable, tubing, motor and wheel houses. The wheel house's wont work since there too short. But everything else does. Had to take a piece of sheet metal and weld to the original bracket to make it fit, but it was easy. Shipping and wiper unit from UK to Cali. was about $260.00. The new motor is electromagnetic as well, no brushes. If originality is not of most importance, I think this is a nice change. Sorry my pictures came out 90 degrees off.

Nicely done! I appreciate the knowledge for suitable alternatives or bolt on upgrades. The fact that it is cost effective and likely a functional improvement is a plus. Thanks for sharing!

I have not been able to put the motor through a lot of testing. Car is still being built but I do go out and test everything every two weeks to check functioning of components. It is strong and quite. If one is to be purchased they need to know the degree of sweep. I bought 130 degree and based that upon where the wiper left a mark on my windshield from many years. Original motor didn’t work so I could go off of it. Check your car to make sure.
