So seems your one is better than my existing gearbox. I would like to have it. How can I get it ? Shall we talk via personal messages ?

Mr. @Sylvi
I'm sorry for my misunderstanding. You are always welcome to my place in your next Sevanagala visit. If so we can have a ride with Moggy.

Mr. Kusumsiri,
I do not loginto A/L much, that is the reason for delay in reply if any questions better you send me a Email <[email protected]> with a SMS to my phone 0112573690 so that I will attend promptly.
Where do you live so that I can come and have a look at your wiring the dynamo how you had connected the regulator. What is the (SWG) gauge of wire you used for the Aramature winding?.

Mr Sylvi,
Thank you again for your kindness and contact information. Unfortunately I live a little far from Colombo. That is Embilipitiya. The Alternator having inbuilt regulator. So no need to use original regulator. But I kept the original regulator and did some dummy wiring to get thee classic look. Used 28/0.30mm Kelani cable for Lucas DR2 wiper motor armature winding.

Hello Mr. @Sylvi
It is almost finished. But I could not take her out because of this covid-19 pandemic. I will update with some photos ASAP.

Mr,
Kusumsiri looks like you have completed the winding of the Armature correctly, like a professional Armature winder of Armatures, how is the speed when the wiper blades are on the glass. Always try with water do not operate dry, that can scrape the glass if any invisible dust is on the glass surface.
I can notice the Armature drive end of the Armature is little wasted. Check the bush on the wiper housing. Bush is not a brass bush it is a oil impregnated self oiling bush.
Finished product is very good.

Hello Mr. Sylvi,
It's nice to have comments from a member like you because you have enormous experience about these car mechanics and electric system. Secondly thank you for valuating my armature winding task.
- Armature drive end : Yes you are correct again. The commutator is bit wear out. Unfortunately I could not find a matching commutator from local market. So decided to use the same. Hope it will serve me considerable time period.
- Three wire alternator : This is what I used to do the alternator wiring and its charging the battery typically.
I do not blame Dynamo. I can imagine the dynamo era and how served dynamos to the vehicle owners.
-
Update : (I am sorry it's around a year from last update) Realized that wiper motor cannot govern the load successfully. So decided to rewind it myself. Here are some images of the process.

wow! Love your work...This is going to look awesome!
Quick questions on the painted rims in the above post: Shouldn't you powder-coat the rims for durability if you're going to paint them? (Or was that how it was done?)
@Kavvz Thks for your feedback. The rims painted by me with a home made air compressor. So its just a simple paint job. No way to do powder coating. But did a clear coat on top of white for good appearance.

DIY Glove boxes
When I bought the car there were no original glove boxes. So decided to make by myself as a DIY task in the post corona period. Here are some images of it.
Used a thin Aluminum sheet as the base metal. The size for one glove box is 36"x8".

How bouts an alternator conversion?
One previous owner converted the wiring to negative earth and an alternator also fixed. It is a 3 wire alternator having inbuilt regulator. But the control box fixed as a dummy.

Update : Because we already discussed about electrical works in this thread added the relevant images here. To suit it changed the thread name from "Project Moggie - Bodywork" to "Project Moggie - Body & Electrical work". First two images shows the control box and fuse box in the way they were.
This is how the viper motor and flasher were there.
Below images are the present status of wiring. The hole on the control box cover was repaired and added some dummy wires to it for better look. Thank you @varotone for suggestion about flexi tubing.

Here are some images after applying the top coat. Used Toyota white 058 as the color.

After sanding the primer, applied the filler coat. Gray color filler applied on the body shell. Later thought to use white color filler as the top coat will be white.
