I burnt out my motor and the replacement didn't have the park bits. I found it very difficult to get it sorted. There are a few possible other cars with single wipers but the motors all seem to need a lot of space.

Often wondered about some Mercs with the cam that throws the blade into the corners. No decent scrapers around here to have a shufty.
Shouldn't be too difficult to engineer; it's only a pantograph...Edit. Pantograph, have to refresh my memory there.
Edit 2. Ah. Gotcha.

2 different versions of motor involved here...early motors with the screw in park switch are a little painful in that the brush set is part of the park switch along with the armature and main gear are all obsolete, but then these can be changed for the later units BUT in my experience (and I recondition units for TVR world 1983-2000) wedge wiper motors rarely suffer failures (units I seen are more likely to have been broken by the arm having been abused).

That's another idea you've just given me.
Oh, wait a minute, I already have a single wiper

There are 3 basic motors 14W 16W and 27W. Ours is the 16W and is shared with TR7s Stags and Scimitar. The Wedge gearwheel is 170 degrees TR7 is about 130
If you do lose your motor always keep hold of the geqrwheel and the gear at the wiper end unless you fancy double wipers. I have thought about it!

There are 3 basic motors fitted to TVR's 14W 16W and 29W...1969-80 run the 14W ...early Tasmins (1980-84) use the 16W with 165 degrees, when the TVR S comes along with twin wipers this is upgraded (29W and 130 degrees). The differences are that the 16W has a single piece magnet casing along with a screw-on park switch/brush set combined ....the later 350-450 use the stronger TVR bespoke 29W and 170 degree unit which has a 2 piece magnet housing, clip on park switch along with a coarse tooth gearwheel and armature set.

Adrian..you're the man. 
So i guess the JCB 120 deg one would be no good then.
Does it make the car go faster or stop faster....I build these most days, BUT these are a legal requirement that don't do either. IMHO pay attention to what the wipers are doing, deal with the issues prior to them failing and they are sensible cost wise to refurbish...a little bit of mechanical sympathy goes along way.
