Hi folks,
The wiper foot switch on my 1750 GTV has stopped working after only 43 years of service.
I cannot see an obvious way of dismantling it to attempt a hamfisted repair.
Can anyone advise how I might be able to get it apart please?
I have substituted the washer pump with a separate electrical pump, so it's only the wiper function I need.
Cheers,
Marco

Or do I just pay the $137 to Classic Alfa?  :-P

Mate it's just a rolling switch. Heaps of other makes of cars had them in the day. If you need to be original that's one thing but if you want a switch to do the job there are all sort of switches that will do the same job from industrial applications to FC Holdens.

For $137 you should able to buy around 3 dozen of 'em. ;D

Try the classic wreckers for a start.
