Mario;

Restoring the headlight flasher relay is truly simple, and yes it is a normal "astable" relay...

Here's what I've been seriously thinking about for additional "hands-don't-have-to-leave-steering-wheel controls. Another directional indicator switch, (with cancelling mechanism deactivated), mounted on the right side of the steering wheel (ala OD control on 1800). The pull function could be used for a single wipe OR to control OD as you suggested (but for that would require a bistable latching relay just as in the 1800 arrangement), and the up and down switches could be used for slow and high speed intermittent wiping.

I bet the construction of the foot dipper switch is such that after carefull disassembly, I'm sure it could be repaired (and then last another 40 years!). While your at it, please let us know who built it.

Cheers
