Intermittent wipers for Spitfire

Posted By : Andrew Hamilton, 28-Feb-2004, 06:02pm

I know there's a way to have an intermittent wipe facility using the normal Spitfire wiper switch, and the wiper relay from a Maestro, which I have mananged to find in a scrapyard recently, but I've no idea how to wire this up. Can anyone out there help me?

I'm pretty sure there was an article in the Club Magazine about how to do this, a few years ago. Can somone dig it out and let me know? Please!!?

  Hi Andrew
  
  Not the club magazine article, but here is a clever little circuit design that will do the job: http://www.techlib.com/files/wiperkik.pdf

    Thanks for that, Paul. Not sure if my soldering technique is quite up to it! If I could get the cover off the relay I might be able to figure out which way to connect it all, but there are 6 connectors, so trial and error seems a bit hopeless. Has anyone out there got the Club Mag. article to hand??
