Guys, I have AB stalks on my build, and I hadn't noticed until now that the stalk position has been reversed, i.e. stalk horizontal - full ON, stalk up one notch - half speed, fully up - OFF.

I must have accidentally nudged the stalk, cos now the spindle happily winds back and forth without the wiper moving, so the splines have probably neatly reamed out the ally wiper hub - nice!

It's probably me, wiring it wrong, although I can't remember that far back.. Anyone have a bright idea on what to change and the colours involved? If I can do it without having to take the whole dashboard apart, then all the better....

Have to take the beast for dyno run on tues, so hoping I will have time to fix, just in case it rains. Have to change the oil also so time is going to be tight, wat wiv the missus making noises about her expected shopping trip on sat or sunday. Don't you just love-em!

You don't have a hatch on the cockpit? Would that help access to the wiper mechanism?

The last thing my wife would want is me going shopping with her. You obviously showed some interest on the first trip. I spent most of our first shopping trip comparing prices and value for money. Never been asked again in the last 19 years!!!
