Brads Tiger
Had a go at the wiper motor, looked a bit sorry for itself.
Gald i did as the old grease was like putty.
Gave it a touch up after final assembly & the bl**dy paint reacted, looks like an MG dash wrinkle finish so the motor assy will need redoing completely again still if it was easy everyone would have a Tiger i guess.

Got a ride to the metal merchants in the neighbours van, the driving was a bit ruff though.
Trying to sort out the O/S inner/ outer wing, it's being a pain as the wing seems to have a twist in it, the repair section doesn't fit properly & the PO has cut the old wing in the wrong place for the repair section, ho hum.
Finished the N/S wing lip off.

Eventually got a reasonable fit, had to extend the repair section top & slice an 1/8th wedge from the end, rewelding the fold over as i went.
Just need to clean up & paint the inner section before welding.
Also the postie delivered some parts to day along with these, other than expensive ceramic coating i think i'm just going to blast them & use VHT paint.

Hi Brad
Are you going to leave the bottom patch panel you have at the rear of the front inner wheel arch as an access panel? I'm toying with the idea of placing either a couple of grommets or a removable plate to allow access to the sills for periodic waxing/fish oiling.
Work looks to be progressing well - v impressed with your metal skills there.
On an aside, I saw a similar driver to yours on a Croatian visit!
Cheers, Tom

Hi Brad - sounds like a good idea - now that you have your compressor you can use an oiling wand to keep the sills "lubed". Interesting little device with an omni-directional head - basically squirts the oil/wax every which way.Brad1380 wrote:think i'm going to add drain holes which i can inject wax into rather than make the plate removable.
Nice work on the blower!
Cheers, Tom
