I want to upgrade my wiper system, original system not up to modern road requirements.
Those advertised seem a bit costly. Is it possible to make improvements by fitting something from a later model?
Has anybody made mods if so what and who etc
Looking for some feed back

I have seen this kit but have not decided to purchase it for my car.
Wiper Kit - CLASSIC MOTOR CARS


I did replace my wiper arms and blades and that made a big improvement as the old wiper arms prevented them from stopping all the way to the base of the glass.

 

Getting the wheel boxes as a separate entity would be nice with out having to buy the other stuff.
The wheel boxes are the part that wears out.

 

I have already replaced the wheel boxes, arms and blades.Available through usuall UK outlets. The CMC kit seems a bit costly to me.
I was hoping that perhaps a motor from say a later vehicle would fit. I have found that europera motor parts( Race /kit car) supplies a kit and parts seperate (2speed)motor 14watt £50. I dont know how this equates to the Lucas fr3 .
Any comments any body(lucas draws about 3 amp max

Hot Rodders in the USA use a domestic system which they install in their rods. Mounting is very similar to the Jaguar systems. Search for hot rodding parts suppliers.

 

will a s3 motor fit from an xj

 

the complaint most heard from XJ owners is always the lazy wipers. My '65 S type wipers are faster than my '84 XJ wipers. Both are Lucas cable systems, used in many British cars. The modern Pantograph system does not fit.

 

I to would like to fit something, I will clean and lube all the bits that I have,

 

Jose, what motor have you, is it the same as the mk2?Would you say that the s type system is ok
