I am going to need a replacement or a rebuild for my 2 speed wiper
motor for the 61 Lotus Elite.
Anyone know of a rebuild source, or failing that, a used 2 speed unit
for sale. It is the typical brit unit from almost everything ever
built in the 50's and 60's and beyond I would guess.

There isn't much to rebuilding these motors - you can but the brush sets for
a few bucks and have the commutator skimmed if need be. I'd suggesy that
you refurbish your old one.
And you have 2 speeds?? We poor MGA owners are happy to have but one speed
that reports in when summoned.

remembered what I like about having no clock or radio with presets - the
batteries
don't go flat over the winter if you forget to start them once in awhile.
Built this engine in 1979 and it started in 5 seconds!)
