Subject: [TR] TR4A to TR6 Windshield Wiper Conversion
After many many years of crappy windshield wiper operation I decided to =
take the plunge and convert the wiper motor on my TR4A from the Lucas to =
the Smiths version. Wow, what a difference in the strength of the =
motors. Before doing this I changed out motors, replaced wheelboxes, =
replaced tubing, and replaced wiper arms trying to keep as original as =
possible. Some of these things improved performance but nothing anywhere =
close to doing the TR6 swap. Thanks to Charles at TRF who inspired me =
with a short blurb on one of his catalogs about doing the same thing on =
his TR5.=20
=20
The main parts you'll need is the wiper motor (on sale at TRF), late TR6 =
wiper switch, TR6 wheelboxes, 5/16" tubing, and an electric washer pump. =
The vacuum/push pump on the dash gets replaced with a modern electric =
one. Very slick install. Unless you really know what to look for it =
looks like the factory put it in.
=20
I don't have time to write up the conversion now as my Grandson and I =
are about to load up the TR4A and head out for a week of fishing in the =
Eastern Sierra's. I'm hearing the trout are biting! Hope the bears =
aren't!
