NOTE - the 3 finger unit can also work on single speed wiper motors.

The 2-speed wiper motor in the OZ Van, date stamped 3-73 (Mini built April 1973) was in need of a refresh - reluctor ring shot & 2 of 3 fingers virtually worn out.  Amazingly the wipers still worked!

Fortunately, Auto Electrics on Wheels (proprietor Tony Buttigieg) in Jimboomba, Queensland had new fingers & stainless reluctor ring.

The whole wiper motor & rack assembly has been refreshed/rebuilt & reinstalled...with ground from casing to body.
