FWIW, I just noticed the latest edition of Moss's magazine 'Moss
Motoring' has a tech article on wipers. Should be on their website
(mossmotors.com).

Subject: Wiper motor to wheelbox drive assembly<br>
<br>
I had issues with driver side wiper not sweeping the normal
arch and acting as if it were not engaged with the motor
drive. I eventually got under the dash and could see the tube
that encases the drive cable/gear between the motor and the
driver side wheel box was not located properly. I believe the
flared end of the tube should be captured in the wheelhouse
bracket as the passenger side is installed. It appears the
flare should fit in a groove in the wheelhouse bracket. I
attempted to relocate the tube but had trouble making it
reach. I backed off the tube from the motor end and now have
the tube captured at the wheelbox but can't make the nut reach
the threads on the motor housing. I have attached a pic that
should explain much better. If anybody can steer me on this
I'd really appreciate your efforts. The pic shows the wheelbox
to the left with the tube captured in the bracket. To the
right it shows the nut unable to reach the threads on the
motor assembly.<br>
