Title: wiper motor and brake booster options Post by: hsv-001 on July 23, 2013, 07:08:27 PM Started working out why my wipers were noisey and slapped my chromework.Also because I run a red motor and recently put an alloy tappet cover that was taller the breather pipe wasn't fitting under the wiper motor without turning it 120 degrees.The only real problem with the wipers was some wear in the bushings,easily sorted.So I cleaned and polished the motor and put it back in.I had already set up a commadore one just in case of a problem.The wiper motor is 1981 Datsun bluebird as is the brake booster I also cleaned up.I have been using this booster for about 15 years.It is a nice fit even when I was running a fluid clutch, but have been running a borgwaurner for 5 years and prefer it to a celica as it has a complete bellhousing and I have the 2 bellhousing mounts as well as a rear mount.

Years ago I had changed[removed]the old stainless steel backing that the blade goes in and was just using the new plastic backed wiper refills. Is it just me or do these plastic backed wiper blades shape to the windshield when they are parked and so the left blade has too much curve in it on start up and take some time before wiping properly. Anyway I have gone back to removing the blade from the plastic and putting it in the stainless steel backing [seems to work better].
