[Healeys] Windscreen wiper problem

[andy pole]

Hi Derek
It will be the toothed wheel in the wiper box, the metal is quite soft and you
will find a couple of teeth missing the only ones used out of about 7.
You should be able to see from inside the car. There are 2 screws that holds a
plate on the back of the wheel box to sandwich the spiral drive cable, so you
can do it without removing motor / drive gear. Make sure you get the right
wheel box as they had different amounts of teeth if you buy of eBay or other
than a healey specialist, cheers andy
