Small jobs

Weather was great Monday and Tuesday so drove to work both days but unfortunately it's been rain since and will be until Sunday apparently. It's always a good excuse to clean up or get some small jobs ticked off the list. Tonight I fixed the intermittent wipers. They are not supported in the wiper kit but it was easy to fix. I bought a small intermittent wiper hobby kit from Elfa (like Radio Shack). Soldered it together and then wired it into the first wiper position on the stalk. When it's activated (it's adjustable between about 3seconds and 1 minute) it sends 12v to the slow wiper position for one wipe.

I fixed it to the inside of the scuttle beside the mirror bolt so I can adjust the wipe speed if necessary, it's set to about 7 seconds which seems quite reasonable.

I found the nyloc nut on the clutch pedal loose again so I'm going to have to change all that have been undone a couple of times. I'd like to get the car up on a lift and go round all the nuts and bolts before I do too many miles. 


I've noticed again that after a while driving max revs goes down from the red to about 5,5k. Disconnecting seems to fix it temporarily. 


Jobs to do still: Sump guard, better air flow into the manifold, fix the soft top but I'd like to do a more discreet solution than suggested by GKD and console still to do.
