Just a thought, are you certain the arm is slipping on the shaft, and not
the gear slipping on the flexible rack?  Might be worth pulling out the rac=
k
to look for damage in that area; or maybe just make a witness mark on the
end of the shaft so you can see if it moved.

I'm not sure how similar a TR4A is, but on a TR3A, I've seen the little kno=
b
that the arm mounts to come loose on the shaft.  Drilling it for a spring
pin solved that problem.

Aluminum (or aluminium if you prefer) cans make a great source of shims.
Cut to size with scissors (tho it's probably best not to let the wife catch
you using her sewing scissors).

I've had the exact same issue with the reproduced wheel boxes and or the
wiper arms both replaced during my restoration. I am aware of a friends
TR250 with the issue after his restoration too.

I wrapped some aluminum foil around the wheel box and hope that helps. Wrot=

to TRF but no response. Frustrated.

Subject: [TR] TR4A - Windshield Wiper Slipping

All,

First of all, I am coming up on five years of driving the car after the 8
year restoration project.
The advice and help I got through this forum was instrumental to getting he=
r
back on the road.
Thanks again to all of you.

I am experiencing a new issue that I hope you can help with.
I replaced one of the windshield wiper mounts, and both wiper arms, during
the restoration.
At first, everything worked great.
But now the wiper arm mounted to the new mounting ?slips" when traveling up
the windshield, but stays ?locked" when going down.
The effect is that the arm eventually ends up on the bonnet, doing a great
job of keeping it free of water!

I tried placing various things (teflon tape, rubber glove finger tips, etc.=
)
between the arm and mount in an attempt to create a tension great enough to
keep it from slipping, but to no avail.
My guess is that the splines in either the mounting wheel, and/or the wiper
arm, have become quickly worn, but somehow only in one direction?!?

Has anyone had this issue?  If so, what was the fix.
If I replace the arm and/or the mount, what vendor should I buy from?
Avoid?

Cheers,

Did exactly that (cut a thin shim) to put in the wheelbox in one of my cars=

pretty much the same mechanism underneath.

Hello,
In the manual for my Honda Inverter Generator it says:
"The DC receptacle should ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive
batteries. The DC charging output is not regulated. Check the battery
voltage frequently while charging to prevent overcharging the battery"
I'll be back tomorrow with voltage readings when running a charge.

:-)  the point wasn't that it couldn't work....  do you drive your car
every day? At least once every 4 days?

ALL caps self discharge. Personally I just think it's too dangerous.
with nearly no internal resistance...yes...no heat build up due to
internal resistance for high amp outputs) but it also means all that
power can discharge so rapidly it can melt wires.  A short or high
resistance across a bad contact and you've got big problems.  IF, and I
say IF it were ...I'll call it consumer safe.... don't you think auto
manufactires would already be all over it?

To this day I live with an electrical burn from a 1.5 second contact
with a 6 cell (7.2V) nickel cadium battery across my stainless steel
watchband. It turmed it cherry red and melted the clasp into the skin
right at the tendon. It took nearly two years for the square 'melt'
after the band was surgically removed. ... to flatten out. The scar is
still easily visible 20 years later. Testing shows those old RC car
battery packs can output a 1200amp spike for roughly 6 seconds.

Now NI-Cads are in the .2 ohm internal resistance range. (a Lead acid
around 2-4 ohms) LIthium poly and lithium ion, (laptops cell phones and
VAPE industry are around .07 (+/-)   My 3.7 (full charge at 4.2V) can
sustain a 30 amp output for 6 minutes....for something the size of your
thumb ( a very fat AA cell)  I never did a full power dump, as they have
a negative temperature coefficient. (thermal runnaway ...hence the
laptop fires)  Super caps have roughly a 0.07 milliohm (0.00007 ohms)
output resistance. Basically you can vaporize pennies! (yes... BTDT)

If you're convinced it replaces a usual automotive battery in daily service

?Hello John/List,
This perfect timing. Big storm coming my way it's a good time to test my
generator.
I setup up the generator on a very old battery that has been sitting for
a long time. The voltage reading was12.4V. With the Honda EU2000i
attached and running the voltage reading went right to 14.54V and in 10
minutes the voltage went to 14.85V. That's why manual cautions to check
voltage frequently.
As I said in an earlier email:
In the manual for my Honda Inverter Generator it says:
"The DC receptacle should ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive
batteries. The DC charging output is not regulated. Check the battery
voltage frequently while charging to prevent overcharging the battery"
I suppose all generators are not the same or yours may have a defect.
I hope this helps John.
Regards,
Bob

yes...  These are lipo and or li-ion batteries as I described before.
High capacity high current discharge capable.

I'm thinking they must be li-ion as polys are not supposed to be left
fully charged for long periods of time (fire hazard)

Here's another one: What happens if you accidentally leave your

<br>
All,<br>
<br>
First of all, I am coming up on five years of driving the car after the 8 <=
br>
year restoration project.<br>
The advice and help I got through this forum was instrumental to getting he=
r <br>
back on the road.<br>
Thanks again to all of you.<br>
<br>
I am experiencing a new issue that I hope you can help with.<br>
I replaced one of the windshield wiper mounts, and both wiper arms, during =
<br>
the restoration.<br>
At first, everything worked great.<br>
But now the wiper arm mounted to the new mounting ?slips&quot; when traveli=
ng up <br>
the windshield, but stays ?locked&quot; when going down.<br>
The effect is that the arm eventually ends up on the bonnet, doing a great =
<br>
job of keeping it free of water!<br>
<br>
I tried placing various things (teflon tape, rubber glove finger tips, etc.=
) <br>
between the arm and mount in an attempt to create a tension great enough to=
 <br>
keep it from slipping, but to no avail.<br>
My guess is that the splines in either the mounting wheel, and/or the wiper=
 <br>
arm, have become quickly worn, but somehow only in one direction?!?<br>
<br>
Has anyone had this issue?&nbsp; If so, what was the fix.<br>
If I replace the arm and/or the mount, what vendor should I buy from? <br>
Avoid?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

Hello,<br>
In the manual for my Honda Inverter Generator it says:<br>
&quot;The DC receptacle should ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive=
 <br>
batteries. The DC charging output is not regulated. Check the battery <br>
voltage frequently while charging to prevent overcharging the battery&quot;=

I'll be back tomorrow with voltage readings when running a charge.<br>

:-)&nbsp; the point wasn't that it couldn't work....&nbsp; do you drive you=
r car <br>
every day? At least once every 4 days?<br>
<br>
ALL caps self discharge. Personally I just think it's too dangerous. <br>
with nearly no internal resistance...yes...no heat build up due to <br>
internal resistance for high amp outputs) but it also means all that <br>
power can discharge so rapidly it can melt wires.&nbsp; A short or high <br=
resistance across a bad contact and you've got big problems.&nbsp; IF, and =
I <br>
say IF it were ...I'll call it consumer safe.... don't you think auto <br>
manufactires would already be all over it?<br>
<br>
To this day I live with an electrical burn from a 1.5 second contact <br>
with a 6 cell (7.2V) nickel cadium battery across my stainless steel <br>
watchband. It turmed it cherry red and melted the clasp into the skin <br>
right at the tendon. It took nearly two years for the square 'melt' <br>
after the band was surgically removed. ... to flatten out. The scar is <br>
still easily visible 20 years later. Testing shows those old RC car <br>
battery packs can output a 1200amp spike for roughly 6 seconds.<br>
<br>
Now NI-Cads are in the .2 ohm internal resistance range. (a Lead acid <br>
around 2-4 ohms) LIthium poly and lithium ion, (laptops cell phones and <br=
VAPE industry are around .07 (&#43;/-)&nbsp;&nbsp; My 3.7 (full charge at 4=
.2V) can <br>
sustain a 30 amp output for 6 minutes....for something the size of your <br=
thumb ( a very fat AA cell)&nbsp; I never did a full power dump, as they ha=
ve <br>
a negative temperature coefficient. (thermal runnaway ...hence the <br>
laptop fires)&nbsp; Super caps have roughly a 0.07 milliohm (0.00007 ohms) =
<br>
output resistance. Basically you can vaporize pennies! (yes... BTDT)<br>

<br>
?Hello John/List,<br>
This perfect timing. Big storm coming my way it's a good time to test my <b=
r>
generator.<br>
I setup up the generator on a very old battery that has been sitting for <b=
r>
a long time. The voltage reading was12.4V. With the Honda EU2000i <br>
attached and running the voltage reading went right to 14.54V and in 10 <br=
minutes the voltage went to 14.85V. That's why manual cautions to check <br=
voltage frequently.<br>
As I said in an earlier email:<br>
In the manual for my Honda Inverter Generator it says:<br>
&quot;The DC receptacle should ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive=
 <br>
batteries. The DC charging output is not regulated. Check the battery <br>
voltage frequently while charging to prevent overcharging the battery&quot;=
<br>
I suppose all generators are not the same or yours may have a defect.<br>
I hope this helps John.<br>
Regards,<br>
Bob<br>

&gt; Hi, Listers<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; There are lots of you out there with far more electrical know-how than=
 <br>
&gt; me<br>
&gt; and I'd really appreciate your input - even though my question has <br=
&gt; nothing<br>
&gt; whatsoever to do with Triumphs, apart from getting in the name on this=
 <br>
&gt; post.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Liz and I often use our trailer home in the UK at locations where <br>
&gt; there is<br>
&gt; no mains electrical supply and so are totally dependent on the 115amp<=
br>
&gt; leisure battery in our caravan. As Liz has a medical condition which<b=
r>
&gt; requires daily use of a mains operated nebuliser for prolonged <br>
&gt; periods, I<br>
&gt; recently bought an 800w inverter generator that cranks out 230v and <b=
r>
&gt; also has<br>
&gt; a separate 12v plug and lead with crocodile clips for 'battery <br>
&gt; charging'.<br>
&gt; Nebulising probs are thankfully now&nbsp; a thing of the past but the =
thing <br>
&gt; is,<br>
&gt; even after running the genny for about 6 hours, my leisure battery was=
 <br>
&gt; less<br>
&gt; than half charged from the 12v outlet, wouldn't take any more and <br>
&gt; stubbornly<br>
&gt; stayed stuck at 12.33 volts. Fully charged, the reading should be <br>
&gt; around<br>
&gt; 14.4v. I've since decided the 12v supply isn't really suited to <br>
&gt; battery<br>
&gt; charging and is more for running a 12v TV or other trailer home <br>
&gt; accessory.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; As we enjoy going to 'more remote' locations than popular ones where <=
br>
&gt; 230v<br>
&gt; mains supplies are the norm, I'm still faced with a battery charging<b=
r>
&gt; problem. It occurs to me that a way round this is to put my little but=
 <br>
&gt; very<br>
&gt; trusty mains battery trickle charger (runs at about 4 amps) on the <br=
&gt; 230v<br>
&gt; outlet and see if this will work? However, I'm just a bit cautious <br=
&gt; this<br>
&gt; route might have some kind of corrupting influence inside either the<b=
r>
&gt; generator circuitry or the charger - or both. Anyone BTDT and can <br>
&gt; advise? I<br>
&gt; carefully considered folding solar panels as an alternative re-charge =
<br>
&gt; source<br>
&gt; but good ones in the UK cost about $600 and that likely payback is <br=
&gt; longer<br>
&gt; than I can financially accommodate.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; All replies (off list) will be greatly welcomed.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Cheers, Jonmac<br>

<br>
yes...&nbsp; These are lipo and or li-ion batteries as I described before. =
<br>
High capacity high current discharge capable.<br>
<br>
I'm thinking they must be li-ion as polys are not supposed to be left <br>
fully charged for long periods of time (fire hazard)<br>

&gt; If you're convinced it replaces a usual automotive battery in daily <b=

Here's another one: What happens if you accidentally leave your <br>
headlights on? Or if your power drain is a little more than your <br>
generator/alternator puts out? Say a stormy evening with lights, heater, <b=

wipers on and you have an electric radiator fan? Where's your reserve power=
