Chris, are  you saying that it only takes swapping one  part????

What year Westy do you have? I drive an 88 GL and this would be a nice
feature. Presently, at stock, my wipers have two speeds when  "ON" and
one cycle rate when on "INTERMITENT". Would be nice to change that
intermitent rate.

Also, have you any ideas about changing the two speeds to a multi-speed
operation? That would be a nice change as well.

Thanks,

Regards,

John Rodgers
88 GL Driver
