need4speed Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Offered up wiper motor to bulkhead in order to see where i need to fit rivnuts and found this... It appears that the tube that houses the spiral drive is way too long. I know that the td5 wheelboxes that ive used are slightly larger than the td5 type but the positioning of them on the bulkhead is obviously the same. I thought maybe i have the wrong tube as there are 2 different part numbers available but surely they are not that much different in length? As you can see from the pic its a good bit too long.

Snagger Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 RHD wiper motor tube with a LHD vehicle? The wiper spindle box would be further to the right on a RHD vehicle than a LHD vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Dont you mean a LHD tube on a RHD vehicle? I can assure you my 110 is RHD lol. Maybe in that case its a LHD motor as well??? I was told it was from a RHD defender. I may have been diddled here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 as above, use the other holes for washer jets, one 2 jet on each side, makes a good improvement over the 2 jet in the centre of screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retroanaconda Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I can't remember, are you planning to use the post-2002 dash or the pre-2002 dash? If it's the latter you will want to cut off that plate that's spot welded to the bulkhead above the wiper motor. This is the mounting plate for the later motor position and it will get in the way of the dash I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Keep up James I always knew i had to cut the plate off as im using early pre 99 dash. Ive now cut it off so i can install rivnuts. My problem was discovering that the tube was about 6 inches too long. However i discovered that was me stupidly mounting wheelbox in wrong hole lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 36 views so far and no-one noticed it.Who spots the schoolboy error causing my problem........ What are you on about? I just said it was a LHD wiper spindle position in my first post, regardless of whether it was a LHD vehicle or just an assembly error!

need4speed Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 I was making fun of myself for fixing the wheelbox in the wrong hole. Obviously the humour was lost in translation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I spotted the LHD/RHD mismatch, I just credited you with not making the mistake yourself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
