    Re: Getting off my arse

    If you are going to use the Alfa motor pictured then count how many terminals it has on the motor.
    I have notes from the Corse days which identify what each terminal does.
    IIRC there are 6 and 7 terminal motors depending on if you have an intermittent wiper setting.
    Also have to take switches into consideration.
    What column switches are you intending to use?
    I guess the other thing to be aware of is that the existing Corse wiper motor bracket is probably set up for right hand drive....

    To the best of my knowledge the Corse wiper bracket has always been on the centreline of the car so it should be universal between both LH and RH drive.

    I am using a Lancia Beta steering column and switches, basically the same as a FIAT X1/9.

    Yes, the mounting bracket is smack dab in the middle of the car.

    Ok Corky. If you need any info on the wiring let me know.
    Don't forget, count how many terminals are on your Alfa wiper motor.

    Will do, parts are suppose to start arriving today, so looks like this weekend will be the start of the final run to finish my car.

    Ever wonder what $600 worth of flex brake lines and fittings look like?

    If you think that's bad - just wait 'til you get to teflon fuel lines and fittings!!
    Looking good though - can't wait to see the car on the road. In fact, I'll be up in your neck of the woods again in July - my daughter accepted a place at Seattle University, so we need to attend an orientation session and will likely be in the area a lot more often going forward

    P.S. Just noticed the brand - so was that price with or without the family discount

    As suggested by Paul, I found a wiper assembly from a Ferrari 348 and will be using it for my wiper system. Still waiting for one missing part, then I need to drill the correct hole pattern in the wiper motor bracket and start figuring out the wiper timing.
