Had fun with a windscreen wiper motor of the pull-and-spin type - the one on the car was not working so I sourced three more from eBay and give them to the redoubtable Dave Mann to rebuild. Two came back working, together with a box of useful bits. But, what of the motor already on the car? I’d decided not to bother taking that off until I had something to replace it with, so, off it came to reveal, inside, an almost mint-condition unit - but with the pull-knob seized on its shaft. With the careful use of a slim, vintage Stanley blade saw, a cut was made around the inner face of the knob and then, using two screwdrivers as levers, carefully prised off. But, would it respond to power? It did, really well and so, as it’s original to the car, it was put back and the repaired ones stored away for the great-grandchildren to fit….
