Manufacturer of Plastic Gears Wanted

[Jean]

I'm having trouble getting spare parts (or even complete unit) for a wiper motor gearbox that was manufactured by an Italian company OSLV. Anyone know of a company in the uk that can manufacture a replacement plastic gear for me (some teeth are broken off the old one)?

Worth trying an old wiper motor from the scrappy, there are not _that_ many manufacturers and you may get lucky and find a compatible part for your motor, or even a drop in.

I use HPC for most gears at work, however Daval Stock Gears also seem to do some. Phone 01707 283131

Thanks for the replies. I'm currently talking with HPC to see if they can help and will consider the other suggestions too (may well have to convert system to a different drive, perhaps from scrap yard as suggested).
Thought that you might like to see the reply that I got from the Italian manufacturer OSLV when I sent them some detailed photos requesting part number (as I'd found a distributer in Italy but needed part number): "Unfortunately I cannot help you because I don’t know the partnumber and I don’t have any distributor in the UK or elsewhere . Best regards Barbara Günnewig"
I won't be buying Italian again!
