Do you have a 3 wire DL3A wiper with the square body and the parking mechanism on the motor itself? Or do you have a 6 wire motor with a round body (late S1.5) or the early square body unit with 6 wires and the parking switch behind the dash? Could you post a couple of photos of the exterior of the ...

On my 69 S2 FHC with manual steering the total length is 87.2 cm

Not sure if this used one from SC Parts would fit?

That price is criminal.

The sealer ring fits over the pipe which then slips inside the manifold. ( not outside). The inside of the manifold is shaped to accept the profile of the ring. I reckon the sealer rings are wrong. They are supposed to be a slip fit into the base of the manifold and get crushed as it seals. Also. T...

Put up some photos.

The stud dimensions you give (3/8" and about an inch long) sounds correct.

I am having the devils own job of fitting the Hockey sticks back to the car they came off.

This is a perennial problem. Lots of glue and swearing seems to help. You could use a flap disc to profile the seal if you were brave.

I have a number of dial gauges from different manufacturers. The el cheapo units are surprisingly accurate and should be fine for what you want to do. The digital ones seem a little more robust and are easier to read. I also have a couple of Mitutoyo gauges I use when it matters. While the concept o...

There are 3 grub screws on the hub that hold it in.

Get a professional engine shop to do it . It is not straightforward without the correct equipment

Absolutely correct.

Jagdaim in Australia appear to have e new one on EBay.

Caveat; they are not my favourite supplier.

If it's lateral play, then no there shouldn't be that much. That space should be largely taken up with the two Tufnol washers.

Are you sure you have your timing set correctly?
