[TR] Wiper Motor Mounts

[Andrew Uprichard]

They are literally impossible to get into the holes.  I use a razor and cut them in half, being careful to leave the narrower part intact on one of the “halves”, so it will fit in the hole.

Greetings all!

 

I have rebuilt the wiper motor on my TR3 and refinished the paint 

on the motor mounting bracket. As you many know, the bracket has 

three holes in it, into which rubber mounts are installed. The Moss 

illustration of these three mounts is at

Has anyone installed this kit, replacing the old, corroded rubber 

mounts? I got my old ones out easily enough but can't seem to 

come up with a way to install the new ones. The diameter of the 

rubber mount bushings vs. the diameter of the three holes gotta 

make you wonder how they get installed..... I've even tried dunking 

the rubber bushings in boiling water but no success. 

 

Ideas? Thoughts?  Thanks!!
