Steve,
You could try Anthony Roach at Classic Recons.
He specialised in electric wipers but it may interest him.
I've found him to be knowledgable, helpful and often up for a challenge. He's taken on a P&H wiper for me - a type he's never seen or heard of before!
He's based near Newark, Notts.

I don't know if he can help - but Dave Mann (he appears on the forum frequently) might be able to offer some advice.

I would hazard a guess that the adjustment of the contacts may be all that's required, that was the problem with mine and it would need regular adjusting probably because I was running it on 12 volts. i eventually retired it in favour of a louder air horn which keeps the moderns at bay.

Dave's horn is so powerful that, when he engages the compressor, it's rumoured that the car slows down....

Probably Tony, but any errant modern thinks he's got an HGV about to squash him.

I've never yet heard it Dave - a demo on Tuesday would be good!
