Antares 760 - Pantograph wiper upgrade?

[Plum]

Just get rid of it and repair the hole

and then to fit the Roca pantograph wiper, fit one of these: W10 & W12 Plate and shaft for pantograph arm

After much searching I found a replacement motor for the Doga! The one on the right I got from China via Amazon. There is one down side that the Shaft is much longer and they don't do a shorter one.
I am going to get another and see if I can transplant it into the Doga shell.

I have a pair of the original ones out of a Merry Fisher 805 in working condition if you’d like to buy them. I can measure the shaft length if you’d like me to.

Yes that would be epic!

Would you post the link to the one you bought, please.

Waiting with baited breath to see if any of you lot manage to fit a new pantograph motor and wiper to a 760 and get it working.
If so, I'll be close behind!

Fingers crossed...

here is the link to the motor I bought (fitted and working) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0F662W15J?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
though the long shaft causes it to protrude from the compartment, I may have to 3D print a spacer to refit the light.

PS. it is 5 wire so I had to fit a diode on the park circuit to prevent feedback.

I thought you already had a plan......

That looks similar to the Roca. I 3D printed a mock of that motor and could not make it fit in the space, the shaft is on the wrong side, I did not really want to make new holes and patch the old unless there was no other option.

I need to act faster when someone gives me useful advice! I totally forgot about that helpful post from Jamie a couple years back
Plus those motors are now £125! Dammit.

Thanks Plum
PS - just tried looking for that thread but can't find it... Have you got the link please?

Nice one! Many thanks... Just had a read... I remember the blown fuse/controller saga now!
