Bernard,

You are right ... not only TR6's but it seems every Lucas wiper motor for 
many years:  my son's Spit 1980 parts car just donated a brush plate to the 
cause!  I had to remove the 3rd wire (the yellow second speed connector), 
and ease the plate a tad to get it to fit, but otherwise everything was 
identical including the screw fixing holes.

Many thanks for pointing out what is sorta an "obvious", but completely 
unsuspected, solution (which was only 12 feet from the pump with the 
missing bits!).

Will keep you posted on how it works out,

Tony
