early TR2 damaged wiper drive spindle


Recommended Posts

Dear all,

We're planning a trip accross the Alps next May. With preparing the TR2 (TS1757) we found one of the wiper drive spindles to be damaged. The usual suppliers do not have a replacement spinle or box. Do you have any suggestions where to source a replacement spindle or box? Thanks!!!

Hi Niklas

            as only a few teeth are damaged would it be possible to rotate the gear so that when operating the damage does not come in contact with the drive cable

This is done on the later cars with success

Perhaps this could be used to repair - it looks similar and uses a CRT wiper motor like a TR2?

I am not certain of the suitability but it looks close.

Have purchased the Austin A30/35 rack Peter suggested and the spindles are the same! Wheelbox described as 72592K. Note that durng production of A30/35 other varities of wheelboxes could have been used. Check before purchase. Thanks!!
