I think this is a function of the wiper arms themselves. I believe my 67
BGT is left to right, parked left. My 72B is the opposite, but it also
has three wipers. I have a collection of various used wiper arms and I
notice that some arch one direction and others the opposite. Perhaps
it's a matter of B versus BGT, meaning you have B arms? Just a guess
since I don't have a catalog handy right now. I'm pretty sure there is
just one motor for post-68 Bs and BGTs.

Subject: Windscreen wipers
Something is wrong with my wipers. I have a 1970 MGB GT (with implanted
Rover V8). I bought new wiper arms and got a wiper motor from a
lister. Now all are fitted but the wipers seem to be wrong in that they
wipe from right to left and park on right resulting in poor coverage on
driver side. Seems to me that they should wipe from left to right - and
park on left. Are the motors capable of being adjusted? Are there
different motors for GT's LH & RH?
Which way is correct for LH drive GTs?
