If you *really* wanted to keep it original, you could use one of the
individual Lucas wiper motors...but thse require three mounting holes.
Much easier to get a single post wiper motor from J. C. Whitless or
somesuch. These come in a variety of shaft lengths, but the outer threaded
shaft can be cut and trimmed without cutting the central, driven shaft.
I've had a series of them on my 88...they seem to last about five years
before dying a slow death with a progressively smaller swept area.
Cheers
