The Klaxon windscreen wiper motor is now being mounted by the Body Makers on the engine side of the dash, mounted on a small bracket bolted to the dash. We think this is an excellent idea as it removes the noisiest part of the wiper from the inside of the Car, at the same time it provides a nice straight through run for the flexible cable drive. What we are concerned about, however, is the rather shoddy brackets the Body makers are providing for this motor and we are wondering if you are sufficiently interested to have a scheme provided whereby a neat cast aluminium bracket could be secured to the dash for this motor as a standard fitment. The bracket sent up by the Coachbuilders on 21G4 is merely a piece of bent tin clumsily constructed. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
