Switch for two speed wiper and self parking.

To achieve this one ideally needs a single pole 3position switch which has an ON in all three positions. I can find neither a toggle nor a rotary switch to achive this. Has anybody any suggestions ? It needs to be 'retro' in appearance.
My only other option would seem to be a single pole On/Off/On switch with a relay to do the self park circuit.
Any ideas - Thanks - Chris

Re: Switch for two speed wiper and self parking.

Hi Chris, Unfortunately electrics are not my forte so not much help here. That said I very much believe in keeping things simple. Is the standard MGB switch on the column not an option? Alternatively a switch of a similar BL vehicle of the same era (ie Mini, spitfire or something similar) may work. This would keep the standard wiring colour codes which may help if trouble strikes.

Hi Paul - thanks for your thoughts.
No I have no space between steering column & dash for a stalk. - Chris

They have a 2 speed wiper switch that might do the job.

Hi again Paul - that CBS switch does everything that I would want electrically but is too modern looking to be ideal aesthetically. Chris
