Hi Graham
From memory--it was a llloooonnnnnnggggg time ago--the splitties have the motor under the dash, not in the engine bay and use rods to actuate the wipers.
So to make your wiper motor work, it would probably be necessary to reproduce the whole 1000 system with the drive cable and wheel boxes from the later model. I guess a mounting would have to be fabricated for the motor to sit on.
The sweep of the wiper arms might have to be reduced too--not too difficult once you are inside the wiper gearbox.
My thoughts anyway.

Hi the series 2 wipers do not work on a rod system,they have a cable drive same as the 1000 except of a smaller diameter but you can still use the 1000 mtr sorry to correct you don58van

I agree with stracho that the wipers will work, but they will need to have a new mount made up and the cable will need to be altered to suit the FJ.
regards Grumpy

You may find the sweep angle on the 1000 motor might be greater than the SII. The screen is bigger so I would think the angle would be slightly greater.
BTW Don, the MM set up is the same as the SII too.

the one that is popular for street rods and has connecting rods is the A40 (A45??) Farina.
