Today I order a lot of parts for the car, so while I'm waiting I decided to see what needs to be done to the finish of the body as it comes from Lister-Bell. The top photo was before I started prepping the finish, the middle photo I just used a first cut polishing compound, the second I first sanded with 1500 grit wet-dry sandpaper, then the first cut compound. That gave me the desired finish to do the whole, then finish that with a finish polish compound.
Oh, and I couldn't find the motor shaft, so now the search begins for that.

Body Work is looking good
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.

On Frederic's car anyway, who knows on any others......

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