I know it has been discussed before but I would like some info on two speed wipers .
Can I take a motor from another car?
Do I need to modify ?

Humber wipers are supposed to be 2 spd & the motor is a direct replacement for the Minor one (the motor itself, not the whole motor assy).

I've used Marina motors on my cars. The spindle on the gear needs relocating though to get the right sweep angle.

I have also been told that the Marina wiper assy (motor, cable, wheel boxes) will fit straight in if you wish to convert to parallel wipers (redrill the LH wiper mount).
If that is the case, then you could just use the Marina motor & wheel boxes to get the right sweep without relocating the spindle.

Datsuns have a plenum that houses the wiper linkage. The linkage is arms instead of cable.
To fit that to a Morry, you're going to have moving arms under your dash. Not ideal in my book.
