This little video shows a bench test of the Lucas type CRT windscreen wiper mechanism to check if all will be well when it is installed. All the old grease was cleaned out and replaced with a low viscosity Moly grease.
In some cases it is good to have photos to show how parts go back together. In this case the wiper "wheelbox" and the screen demister AND the support for the top end of the steering column (under the wheelbox).
This doesn't look much but it will provide a working pattern for making a new leathercloth covering for the parcel shelf.
Stored "refreshed" parts are building up in the spare room.


This is the new wiring harness purchased from Vintage Wiring Harness in Victoria. Looks good!
One of life's little mysteries? My Riley RME has 2 interior lights and the instruction book says "operated by means of individual switches attached to each unit" I give up - I can't find them or it! Where are they?
I'm pretty sure I have found the switch - under the replaced headlining - above the driver's door.
