Restoring Lucas 16W Wiper Motor - Triumph TR7 Restoration Part 14

With the rear of the car done - at least for now - it was time to make a start on the front.
The first job was the wiper motor - the Lucas 16W wiper motor and cable arrangement.
I started this about 10 years ago - I stripped everything down and cleaned it, then just left it in a box. Now, it's time to finish the job.
I painted the wiper motor body and fitted new brushes and repaired the park switch. The 16W wiper motor brushes are no longer available, so I had to adapt a motor brush set from the 14W wiper motor.
With the motor repaired and fitted, I attempted to clean up the washer bottle, without much success! But it still came out alright, and I fitted it along with new washer hoses.
