After a bit of research I have sussed the wiper system for
the Vixen/Tuscan model group.
The only part of the whole system which is *crucial* is the gear cog
wheel in the wiper motor. This must be 120 degree phasing and parking.
The Lucas part number for this is WGB227 and 20.24.
You may obtain any Lucas type LRW110 wiper motor, swap the gear cog
and it will work. The LRW110 is the two speed motor fitted to a huge
range of BL vehicles. You could get a single speed motor (say fitted
to a Hillman Imp) and fit the two speed brush card (WKB101) and
convert to two speed.
I used an Allegro LRW110 (which has 130 degree opposite park phasing)
and swapped the cog and all is hunky dory.
The other TVR part numbers are
72872 for the wheelboxes (18.98 each)
and
743251 for the rack (19.36)
Hope that helps but you probably knew all of the above anyway!
Still working on the fuel sender and gauges but am getting close to
sorting that as well.
