I'll post photos of what I found, but I was hoping someone on one of these lists might know someone who would be interested in these items. Most of these books are like new condition. Didn't want to toss them out or give to good will. I owned a 1973 GT6 and 2 TR6's which I sold years ago. If you know someone who might be interested in these items please send them my way.?

After some research into the battery manifold of M1 and Mk1A Tigers, I?ve found the following: In the ?Parts list Supplement for the Sunbeam 260?, I found that: The Rootes part number for the manifold breather tube and 6 caps is 1224844 On the same line, at the end of the ?Description? is a Lucas number, 54285582 The Lucas Equipment and Service Parts manual for 1966 # CCE901/66 lists the? battery but not the manifold. In the old Lucas Bible, ?Lucas Equipment and Spare Parts? 1945-1960?, there is a listing for a battery Vent Plug, rubber,? part number 24179522, but its top is different than the plugs used on the Tiger manifold, as well as being rubber not plastic. Note that ?The Lucas Bible? ends in 1960 and covers late 40?s through 1960. Rubber was used far more frequently in that period. ?Ron Fraser, known to all on this list-serve, contacted the Rootes Heritage Group and asked if they had a drawing of the assembly and they reported to him they had no information on this. ?Further, Joe Chiappetta, an extremely knowledgeable Sunbeam guy for many years, has researched this part (or similar) in different British makes, especially ones with fuel tanks in the same closed environment as a Tiger, and hasn?t found anything. The part is a Lucas, but I?ll bet it was installed at the Jensen plant as they were building the Tiger. Strange, though, that no other vehicles (it appears) had this arrangement with these very special ?arrow-headed plugs. In closing, it seems that the only hope for obtaining an assembly would be a clever person with a 3D printer and a sample cap. ? Thoughts? ?

Everything worked fine at first; I could turn them on and off as needed. But then it got where the wipers would not turn off. With the switch in the off position the wipers seem to go into a third, slower speed. Kind of like the intermittent setting on modern cars. I actually like this speed because it was just lightly misting . After several minutes they would eventually stop. And then occasionally it would start up again on its own. I found a similar issue on the SAOCA website and the answer was related to a "stop wire". Can somebody tell me where to find that wire? I've looked all around the wiper motor but can't seem to find it. Another question: While looking at the wires going to the wiper motor I noticed a wire coming out of the wiring harness right next to the wiper wires that is not hooked up to anything. It is purple with a white stripe and there is nothing anywhere close to it that it would hook up to. I've looked at the wiring diagram and can't find a match. See the photo below. [image: PXL_20250223_204349249.jpg] Can anybody tell me what that purple/white wire would go to? Thanks, Joe Brown -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Everything worked fine at first; I could turn them on and off as needed. But then it got where the wipers would not turn off. With the switch in the off position the wipers seem to go into a third, slower speed. Kind of like the intermittent setting on modern cars. I actually like this speed because it was just lightly misting . After several minutes they would eventually stop. And then occasionally it would start up again on its own. I found a similar issue on the SAOCA website and the answer was related to a "stop wire". Can somebody tell me where to find that wire? I've looked all around the wiper motor but can't seem to find it. Another question: While looking at the wires going to the wiper motor I noticed a wire coming out of the wiring harness right next to the wiper wires that is not hooked up to anything. It is purple with a white stripe and there is nothing anywhere close to it that it would hook up to. I've looked at the wiring diagram and can't find a match. See the photo below.

So, if the wires between the motor and the switch are shorting to ground somewhere, that will make the wipers run. A loose connection there to ground COULD make the third slower operation... could. The ground wire goes inside the motor to a switch that switches to ground until the wipers are in the stop position. A sticky switch or loose ground there could cause the wipers to run continuously. This ground switch makes sure that the wipers will park, even if you turn the dash switch off when the wipers are up on the windshield.

Instead of affecting a complete open circuit when the STOP switch is activated (at the rest position) it is still providing a partial path to ground. This would explain the slow operation of the wipers when you try to turn them off. This would be caused by some resistive path that bypasses the STOP switch. This could be caused by the STOP switch contacts rubbing against the case or something else. You might try disassembling the motor assembly and inspecting the STOP switch to see if there's anything screwed up in it. The ultimate test of the switch would be to use an Ohm meter to measure the resistance across the STOP contacts when the switch is activated (rest position). With the STOP wire disconnected an Ohm meter should give an infinite reading. Would be best to disconnect the battery when you're doing this. You can do this test without disassembling anything (measure resistance from STOP wire to ground) but you have to make sure the the wipers are at the rest position when you do the test. -Good luck Will - 382001570 Tigers at embarqmail.com On Sun, Feb 23, 2025 at 6:28?PM Gary Winblad wrote: > The wiper switch is on the ground side.
