I had the windshield wipers stop on my 65B during a rainstorm, heading
towards San Antonio. I had to hang my left arm out and use a rag to wipe
the windshield clear enough to see where I was going.
I finally got to SA and the next morning I stopped at a British car repair
shop. The mechanic came out and rapped the wiper motor with a wrench. The
wipers never skipped a beat after that.
The only cost was for a Haynes manual that I bought so I would know how to
work on my car. Its vintage now as this was in 1975 or 76, the manual had
an appendix in the back for newer MGB and BGT models (71 and after).
