Another question for y'all.

I'm going for a custom switch panel in the mini and wanted to put in toggle switches like these

Trouble is, wipers are a poo to wire up if you want them to park properly (and I do). Does anyone know of anywhere to get a switch like this that will work for wipers? I heard that Copper S's had something like this. Can anyone confirm or deny, or better yet supply one. I have the 2 speed wipers that came in my 78 Leyland.

Cheers

A 2 speed switch from an MGB will do the trick, but - from memory - your mini is a 78 model?

also read up on Tadhg's 'How to'.

PM sent.

Geez GT. You must live on here. You almost replied before I'd even made the original post.

Information taken under consideration as usual.

Cheers

what is this 'park' you speak of?! :wink:

isn't that just another aspect to owning a mini... guessing where the wipers will stop when you flick the switch?

Yes perhaps I have become too accustomed to the luxury of wipers that stop in the right spot automatically.
