Per Crazyfish's request, here are all the details:
I went marine, figuring that as those parts are designed to endure vibration, temperature extremes, and moisture, they are perfect for a Landy.
I got 2 Seadog Line sets, which included the motor, arm, and blade for $79 each at the local boat shop. 12V, self-parking, 110 degree sweep. Arm 8-12", blade 11". It says black crackle finish but it's smooth. Part # 410711-1. You may be able to find them cheaper online but speed was important to me.
Here's the original (http://bp2.blogger.com/_jI7_GO6Un9Y/R5KMnFhKz3I/AAAAAAAAAv4/B1aOYWUaG3k/s1600-h/CIMG3193.jpg) set-up:
And the comparison of one new, one old (http://bp3.blogger.com/_jI7_GO6Un9Y/R5KMnVhKz4I/AAAAAAAAAwA/YcjrOkDY2Ec/s1600-h/CIMG3196.jpg):
And here's my ultra-slick dashboard (http://bp0.blogger.com/_jI7_GO6Un9Y/R5KMnlhKz5I/AAAAAAAAAwI/cY2dcxqwRIM/s1600-h/CIMG3201.jpg). Nail polish and white-out done by previous owner (*sigh)*.
The shaft hole needed to be drilled out a smidge to fit. We weren't able to retain the outer arched frame thing, but since its function wasn't obvious to us we aren't mourning much.
Questions? Comments?
I now have two old Lucas motors available for purists who want to go all original. :)
Pics aren't showing up so I added links.
