Swapping the wiper park.



Wasn't to pleased having to rip all this out as everything was in place to take the dash. Heater hoses, loom all had to be moved to get it out.
Removed the circlip for the gear shaft.Opened it up, took the gear outand swaped the park tag.
When I was testing the wipers I did notice they were rather noisy, sounded like sawing through wood. So I had a look and noticed that I had put a few sharp bends in the Bundy tube.
(Shocking! Can't blame that one on the glue fumes!))
Took it all off and straightened them a bit by inserting a screw driver into the tube and gave it a shallower bend following the scuttle curve more.
Reassembled and re tested. Parks correctly and is a lot quieter. No surprise.
