This is the installed electric motor conversion kit. Notice that the base plate is attached through the same bolt holes which held the hydraulic wiper motor in place. The pivot bolt for the Idler Arm Assembly is in the same position as the shaft of the hydraulic motor and the Linkage Arm (hidden at top) is the same length and configuration as that on the OEM motor, with one exception: the OEM driver and passenger wiper linkages were held to the linkage arm by latches; this design uses washers and cotter pins instead.

VS1012 Setting/Locking Tool Kit covers timing belt replacement applications on Ford 1.8 diesels (including Di Endura) and 1.25, 1.4, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 & 2.0 petrol twin cam (Zetec) 16v. engines in Ford cars and car-derived vans.

Ford DIESEL engines - 1.8D/TD/Di
These Ford 1.8D/TD/Di diesel engines use a common Crankshaft TDC Location Pin (VS101/2). Up to 1996, 1.8 diesels used Locking Pins to retain the timing position of both the camshaft and injection pump. From 1996 the pin retaining the camshaft was replaced by a Setting Plate (VS115/01), which locates into a slot in the end of the camshaft.
