Does anyone know how to adapt the wiring from a rover mk3 wiper stalk to a moke wiper motor?

As far as i can tell. the mk3 wiper stalk just switches relevant power to the mk3 wiper motor but the moke wiper motor has power going to it but just switches earths
am i correct?

terminal numbers and wiring colours would be GREAT!

What sort of wiper motor does it have?

i dunno.. a moke one?
2 speed early one has 4 pins and an earth

thanks to maddog for some info on the moke wiring!

turns out that you cant make it park if i'm using an early motor with late model stalk

I cant see why you wouldn't be able to get them to park?

The Preslite Moke motors have 5 pins. . .if you look straight on at the LHS of the motor, they are:

53b 53
31b
53a
31

As for the original wiring and what each pin does. . .

53b should have a black/green trace wire to it and is the fast speed
53 should be red and is the slow speed
31b should be black with a red trace and is part of the parking setup
53a should be blue with a light green trace and is also part of the park setup
31 is black and is the chassis earth.

You should be OK if you hook 53a to the switched side of the fuse box, 31 and 31b to earth and 53 and 53b to the slow and fast triggers from the Mk3 stalk. . .to find these triggers, hook the stalk power up to the battery (probably a blue wire) and also connect the earth (black). Switch the wipers to slow and with a test light find which wire goes live - connect this to 53. Then switch to fast and connect the live wire to 53b.
Simple.
I think Mk3 switches also have a sprung 'single pass' momentary setting as well don't they? Check that one out with the test light as well and also hook it up to 53.

Cant see why that wouldn't work. . .
