Plus 2 wiper motor

Does anyone know if an MGB wiper motor, available from Moss Motors, will fit a 1970 Elan Plus 2? Thanks.

Probably, the only difference being the sweep, easily fixed by swapping the drive plate inside...

Hi
yes it will fit but check that it is a 130° drive wheel.
Be careful sometimes wiper motors are sold without drive wheel. to fit yourself

Thanks, but how do you know if the drive wheel is 130 degrees? The driven gear has 46 or 47 teeth.

Stamped on the metal plate.

HI

Stamped on the gear wheel, you have to remove the cover plate, also note if it stops extended or retarded.
You can change the stop position by moving the plastic clip under the gear wheel.
Can you use your original gear wheel?


Good hunting

Make sure the "sweep" is correct for your car. Park Right to Left or Park Left to Right
