Gmg.. Hi Lorne, nice to chat again, I think the last time we talked off site was about my now ex Roadster two years ago.. It was fully sorted when I sold it... Thank you.. Then we purchased the Plus Six and here we go again.

Ref The Plus Six wiper issues.. I did think of mechanism overload, but the original ( Morgan ) wiper blades all had a judder far worse than the upgraded type now fitted, they were mega bad. I note your thoughts regarding small changes making a big effect, but in the case of the Plus Six the wiper mechanism is different to a Trad, its built like a brick toiletblock..maybe slightly too complicated as each set of wiper "box" links have adjustability at the rose joints, if this is set up incorrectly the operating load could increase. I believe, but am not 100% certain that this was partly the cause of the wiper self destruct we started to see that was rectified at the cars second visit to the factory. I have attached a photo of the wiper mechanism I acquired a few months ago less its wiper motor..

I think I will go with a very good glass clean to start with and see if other cars wiper arms have play at the fulcrum pin, as this may be some or all of the judder cause. it seems strange to have this play, but it might be normal.. just dont know yet..
