Another great video Mike. Should have taken the opportunity to do the double washer jet ‘mod’. I did this with mine and now have a much better screen washing.

On my vehicles I run the washer pipes to the wiper arms and put a special jet on them - far better screen washing and no risk of knocking off the jet when cleaning snow off!

I thought the defender wiper set up seemed a bit Heath Robinson at first, but when i took a closer look, its a good bit of engineering. Great vid Mike.

That was half an hour well spent, for me. Those mechanisms do look cumbersome, compared to the system of levers on most vehicles, but, as someone else said, set up correctly should run for ever. I guess those tubes and little gear boxes take up very little room.

Yes and if you want to get funky you can add an extra wiper in the middle if you wish - I have seen it done but not tried it myself

Mike, will the same wiper motor gear wheel not work if you just invert the spindle boxes? Just an option if the plastic gear and steel plate won’t easily separate and you don’t want to risk breaking it - they’re very expensive. SIIA and SIIIs had the helical cable run over the top of the left spindle and under the right spindle to determine their wipe directions (you occasionally see people get them the wrong way around and park the wipers outboard on the sweep), so I can’t see why passing the cable under the spindles won’t work on Defenders. I’d love to have a flaring tool like that - I struggles with one of those crappy types you previously remonstrated about.

Remember the Series had wipers that folded into the middle where Defenders are a parallel wipe - anyway the gear has to be turned 180 or it won't work (guess how i found that out) And the replacement gears are rubbish - I had one that the welded shaft came off when fitting the C clip - much better to use an original The flaring tool is a Sykes Pickavant and will do up to 1/2 inch tube, they still make it but it is £200 - however as with all good tools all spare parts are available

That symmetrical wiping on the old models was checked by having one spindle gear under the cable and one above. By swapping that orientation, you swap which way the arm moves to park. So, on a Defender rhd to lhd conversion conversion like this, running the cable under the spindles will reverse the sweep directions of the arms. It’s just an alternative to the gear wheel mod, like I said. If you flip the cable position to below, you won’t need to mod the gear. Try it if you don’t believe me.

Been 20+ years since I was under a Series 3 dash, but I think they didn't have the steering support strap welded to the bulkhead -may get in the way

That is true - SIII steering columns are secured only at the steering box and the clamp on the engine side of the bulkhead.
