Can wiper park be changed?

You can change the wiper motor parking switch, one switch is for right park and one is for left park. The parking switch is located where the harness plugs into the wiper motor.

Mine was the same, I had to make some wiper arms, and then mod the wiper motor so the wiper swept over further as it only covered half the drivers side.
All fixed now

Thanx much for both replys. I'm so glad I can swap the switch instead of getting another motor. And I did notice the knob only travels about 90 degrees at best. I was afraid that might be a problem also. Is there an adjustment to get more travel out of the motor mechanism?

The Pantera sweep is 95 degrees, the shortest available for the Lucas motor. Sweeps are available in 5 degree increments all the way up to about 130 degrees. Stafford Vehicle Components in the UK are a good source and their web page has a good exploded view near the bottom. http://www.s-v-c.co.uk/prod_wipers.html

Contrary to others suggestions the park switch is not changeable and is a fixed switch with a plunger to activate. What triggers the switch and dictates what location is 'park' is a cam on the main gear. Now the cam can be changed between two locations to provide for left or right park.

I'd post a photo of the gear, but I just changed computer and have nothing by way of photo editing software to reduce the size at present. The plastic gears are what wears out and usually the source of a non-working wiper motor.

In a selfless plug I still have some of the replacement Lucas plastic gears I sell for $15 + P&P.

Julian,
I will send you a message.

Julian, have you ever added a time-delay to the Lucas wipers?

Jack, that seems kinda pointless, I've never even used the wipers. It's not that I don't drive in the rain, I just coat the screen with RainX as the windscreen rake is sufficient for the water to just bead up and get forced up an over.
