Looking two fit two speed wipers (Anyone have one to sell) to my car.
So far I have sorted out the switch. Keeping the dash original.
Here how is goes , Using old light switch fit low speed to parking and high speed to headlights. Problem to solve is to turn off low speed when high comes on as head lights and parking lights are on together. I have fitted a normally closed relay and wired low speed through contacts, then high speed ( full out ) connnected to relay coil as well as high speed wipers..
Result . High speed through relay shuts down low speed when contacts open.
Change L knob to W knob and you are there,

For my 2 speed wipers, I modified a MINI wiper motor.
Changed over the cog with the pin attached to get the
correct sweep for a morrie
(I used the old Morrie one and adapted it.)

I had to made up a small plate for the three
legged mounting as only two of the legs lined up.

For the switch I went to the wreckers and found
an old two position pull out switch from a Toyota ute,
and just swapped the knob over to match. This also
has a twist/Spray motion as well,
so it is all very neat and looks original.
