[Staowners] Wiper motor repair

[Bob Hamilton]

Hi David,

All useful information and as for the wiper motor mounting plate with 
the three rubbers mounted to it, this is the same as a Jaguar XK 120 
and 140 as I ordered two new ones (part no. 011-814) from 
<http://www.mossmotors.com/>Moss Motors and they are an exact fit. Go to:

http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=32902&SortOrder=62

and it is Item #36 and cost $29.95 US.

Hope this helps others as well.

Later,
Bob
