Adrian,

I am surprised that the 83 tooth drive wheel is 120 deg. That is what is in 
the DB3A wiper motor which had a date stamp of 6 62. I wonder why your TR4 
motor has only 110 deg sweep? As far as cable length, I thought that I read 
in the Moss that the cable must be cut to length. My wiper motor is done but 
will not be installed until next year.
