Wiper motor relocation

stevepet

I have seen mention of the wiper motor being relocated to enable rear air cleaner of twin h motor to sit straight in a short wheelbase stepdown. Is this a fact and if yes does anyone have a picture or instructions for this modification.

Thanks

Steven

I have never come across the relocation kit referenced in the manual on a car. My 53 Super Wasp is mounted in the center with the rear air cleaner offset on an angle to clear it. Ignore the dirty filters, they have already been replaced.

Thanks for photo Ratlee. Does look bit weirs doesn't it. Guess mine will look the same. I have seen where someone welded a right angle on air filter looked great but beyond my skills unfortunately.

I have a '53 Super Wasp with Twin-H and it too has the offset rear air cleaner canister to clear the wiper motor. I also was told by someone in the club years ago about the kit to allow the rear air cleaner to be parallel with the front canister. Never saw one either.

I also have electric wipers fitted hopefully will clear.

I have one of these with the right angle I am willing to sell if you are interested.
