Be careful with this as you'll probably let the smoke out of it if it's fitted to a standard Morry.
The Morry wiper motor is -ve switched, not +ve like most other "normal" cars.

It shouldn't matter as it has std relay pinouts, you would just switch the earth rather than the power.
"Disclaimer" I haven't physically seen one, it was in a trade catalogue we received at work, but I am definitely going to order one when we do an order, so I will let you all know how it goes

OK, I tried hooking one up when I built Leslie's car & found the relay was linked inside & didn't like switching the earth side of the motor.

Would like to find out how you go with the relay, can you send me an email once you have fitted it, thanks.

It will be at least a month before I get my hands on one as the catalogue came with the order we just got, and we only order from these guys every one to two months as they are not a major supplier of ours, but will let you know on the outcome when I do

Look interesting.
But the description says:
"Can only be installed on vehicles with self parking wipers, except where the wiper motor reverses direction for the self-parking cycle. Automotive control of wiping action from 2 to 20 wipes per minute."
The self parking bit has me worried for standard Minor wipers.
And will this actually speed up the standard wipers upto 20 sweeps per minute? Or will it only work to the MAX Minor Wiper speed?
I've been told you can modify the standard unit into a 2 speed unit by the use of a resistor or something (no electronivc knowlege at all)
but it changes it from a SLOW 1 speed unit to a 2 speed unit that goes SLOW and SLOWER!
