Hello all.
Is there a way to fit two or three speed wipers to a Mk1. Mine only has the single speed and id like to upgrade if possible.
Many thanks.
All the best
Joe
Two or three speed wipers?
Re: Two or three speed wipers?
Mk1 PI had a two speed wiper motor and switch. Trouble is finding them!

Re: Two or three speed wipers?
Yeah I read that. Might have to see if there is another way.

hello Joe,
there are two speed aftermatket wipers vailable, very similar to the P.I. one. E.g.,https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/windscreen-wiper-kit.
Note thare are many varieties if ordering one.

Re: Two or three speed wipers?
A single-speed wiper is more liveable-with if it has a sensible switch on a stalk so you can flick it on and off, instead of the rocker switch hidden behind the overdrive switch.
I've swapped the O/D switch to the later switch in the gearlever knob, and then re-purposed the old O/D switch to operate the wipers.
In my opinion it greatly improves both the wipers and the overdrive.

Hello Cliff,
yes, very true, which is why I went to the trouble of fitting MK 2 column switches to my MK1, much more practical.

I'm not sure what single speed motor is fitted, I know that the DR3A model fitted to early TR's & Vitesse can be converted to twin speed operation, some details on this thread https://www.tr-register.co.uk/forums/in ... o-2-speed/
