Right, how come there are a few different angle sweeps on the gear used in wiper motors???

So far I've found 105, 110 and 120 degrees, all seem to have been marked from Mk2 Onwards!

I'm a tad confused! :\

Cheers :P :( :D

Because the motor is used in more than one model of car. In fact Triumph used the same motor body (without the gearbox) for many different things in their cars including fuel pumps and headlamp lift gear. Your Mini needs a 110 degree gear.

Yes, mainly it would mess up the scuttle and wiper arms when they collided. :thumbsup:

Although you haven't said what Mini it is so I'd like to check because early cars used a different gear.
