My NZ 48 carries a RHD version of the 41 US dsh. It has the same arms under the dash as the US 48. The wiper motors for it that came with car in a box of bits is a 41 motor. If using the 41 arms which I don't have it works as it should and the wipers park at the bottom of the windshield ( i had there on my past 46). When I mount this 41 wiper on the 48 mechanism I can't get the wipers to park at the bottom, they park nearly verticle by the centre bar of the shield. I have tried mounting it upside down but the arms on the mechanism foul and don't move. Can anyone please send my a picture of what the wiper motors for a 47 48 look like. I believe there were 2 types. One had a cable to switch it on and the other relied on pure vacuum? I have the 41 switch on my dashboard down at the front of the dash that relies on pure vacuum so I would like to use that if I can.

Does anyone out there have knowledge of the setups for 47/48

thanks
