Miglia style single wiper motor
Turbo Mini Forums

Need to get a wiper motor sorted out for the hilclimber, have got a full bulkhead box, so will need to be mounted direct to the scuttle, and as small and lightweight as possible.

A lot of the miglia's have setups like this with just the motor and one wiper arm, anyone know what types of motor they're using?

just find a rear wash wipe of a hatchback

uhmm i never thought of that carl! im going to be searching. i was thinking about a citreon AX motor with modified arm but im pretty sure i'll be able to find a hatch with a rear screen around the size of a mini front.

Have been looking round the local scrap yards, but they're all quite big motors. Sounds like its my only option though.

yup, i have one kicking about somewhere...

mine isnt that big a motor but no idea what its off. i'll look if i get chance tomorrow

Cool that would be really handy thank you.

what class are you hillclimbing in ? didnt think you could have a full bulkhead box anymore as you would have to remove part of the structure between the wheel centres ( ie the bulkhead panel )

clearance for induction is allowed is it not,

Yep modification for induction is allowed. Plus all that shit 2 years ago about minis has more or less gone away. Every year it seems the scruts have something that they push. This year it will be fuel sampling. Well not actually sampling, but checking that they can if they wanted to.

However back on topic. You don't need a wiper motor off a car with a similar size screen, just a similar stroke. You don't want one off a car with a doggy tail wiper that moves 180degrees, you just need one that moves 90degrees. There are plenty out there, still on my list of things to get though.

I answered a similar question the other day on TMF, was that you. This is a bit pricey mind

Wasn't me that asked on tmf, had seen something similar to that in the durite book, but that one was £60 +vat, this one is a bit better priced, will bear it in mind. Thnaks

dont wish to hijack the post , induction clearance is allowed but only a clearance of 7.75cm ,this includes ducting ,ram pipes etc ( not alot ) . also steel front wings upto wheel centres , rear compartement panels ( door pockets ) and the bit of back seat that everyone cuts out also boot floor upto the wheel centres must be fitted . the minis at gurston down have had nothing but trouble over this , i myself am currently having to put all this metalwork back in ( more weight ouch ) not happy , just mentioned this as wouldnt want someone else to have to go through retro fitting all this metal .

Front wings not unitary, so can go. pockets not unitary so can go. base of seat, not unitary so can go.

These mods have been acceptable in this class for 40 years. to me that says they are acceptable.

I have had my car in it's current state for over 7 years and it has complieed. there has been no rule change, so it is still elligabe.

I have written to the MSA about this, but had no response in nearly a year. Will write again, this time with more anger.

Having said that I had no eligability issues this season.

Neil Masters has a GRP front and runs at Gurston. I have a feeling he has some token steel under it, which is fucjing stupid.

I've got a metro rear wiper motor. It's not very big at all and should take metro front arms with a smaller blade (might have one of those as well).

You can have it for the cost of postage.

I have cut the boot fkloor too much, and will fix it over the winter.
