Yes it is the (in)famous Lucas DR3 windscreen wiper motor.I have rebuilt a dozen or so for myself and acquaintances.
I am a bit surprised at the spade connectors in Glyn's illustration.I have always managed to salvage the original bullet connecters.
I have not managed to reproduce the crinkle paint finish on the body/housing and just repainted with velvet black. Any advice on that will be appreciated..
cheers

Ein, If the wipers aren't working as they should, make some extensive searches on how the motor and the associated parts operate before marking and disconnecting the wires and taking the device apart. It's a very clever design that manages to incorporate several features in an efficient way. Unfortunately, that makes it a bit difficult to understand. It also seems to justify quite high prices for new replacements.

Regarding finish just buy the correct Wrinkle black paint. Numerous suppliers should stock it or get it from the US (Amazon etc). Rust-Oleum Wrinkle Finish Spray Paint, Black

I understand the shipping difficulty with volatiles. We have the full range of Rust-Oleum available in SA.
There was a Hardware store on River Road, West of Wollstonecraft that carried it in North Sydney NSW. Been out of Aus since 2002 but it was one of the larger chains IIRC. My apartment was on Wollstonecraft Bay overlooking our private jetties & the harbour view in a complex called Wondakiah.
This is what I can't reproduce. It has a wrinkle with a difference. Bloody Lucas 38604 Accessory socket. I'm all ears if someone has achieved it.
