Here is a small blog showing how I stripped, cleaned and reassembled my windscreen wiper motor. I only had the one wiper motor but I purchased a second NOS Wiper motor back in 1999.

Photo below shows the wiper motor before restoration.

Here are a number of reference photos showing my NOS wiper motor. Although it was brand new inside, the exterior surface looked as if it was touched up with a paintbrush at some point of time in storage???

The mounting studs had all but corroded away. I machined from standard bolts, two replacement studs and then silver soldered them in position.

To glass bead blast and etch prime the external surfaces of the wiper assembly, I made a series of simple covers etc to protect various surfaces and parts from the  grit and paint.

A friend of mine had a small computer controller paper cutting machine that came in handy to cut the necessary gaskets needed to reassemble the wiper motor.

Finally, for some reason, the short wiper linkage arm is always missing from weasels. Gary S. years ago did a small production run of these linkage arms and also made an exact copy of the wiper pivot retaining nuts. I will add more to this post when I assemble my windscreen.

WOWEE OZ!! Every time I look at this site, you have posted some really nice pictures of what you have worked on. I admire your work and attention to detail. You are going to make "The Land Down Under" very proud of one of Her Son's for doing such fine work, especially that there are only 2 Weasels in the entire country!! GOOD ON YA' MATE!!
