Currently the winscreen wiper on my Tornado parks on the right hand side. This is an early kit and right hand drive but all the pics I have seen show them parked on the left. Is this correct and if not is there a way of adjusting/modifying it to park on the left?

Trevor.

I swapped mine around - from memory after removing the gearbox cover screws its fairly obvious inside what to do. I think it was a pin that you move to another position or turn over the gear inside that operates the park switch.

The easy way to do it is disconnect the park wire on the wiper switch if its connected and park the arm manually when you switch the wipers off. You may need to re position the wiper arm on the spline.

Otherwise remove the wiper motor, take the cover off the drive gear and flip it over.

Thanks

Andy

If it's a Lucas motor, this should help.

Andy, Bob,

Thanks for the replies and I will get to it this weekend after the MOT on Saturday. Looking forward to seeing what it drives like.

Trevor.
