Wiper motor wiring
A popular modification for early Sprites and Midgets is to replace the single speed wiper motor with a dual speed motor from a later model car. While it’s relatively easy to wire up a switch for the two speeds, getting the wiper motor to auto park when the switch is turned off can be a little more tricky. These notes document how I wired up a 2 speed wiper motor as found in a 1971 US specification MG Midget. As wiring can and does vary between models, as well as previous owner modifications, any modifications you attempt to make to the wiring of your car based on these notes are entirely at your own risk. Beware,

The Jenny Craig effect
Well Folks I thought that I should post a few pictures of the car now that she is back on the road. The weight is now 630kg with half a tank of fuel which means that I have managed to ’save” a whopping 63kg during the course of the rebuild. Damn fore shortening with wide angle lenses!
