Wiper motor - rack in or rack out when stopped?

Is the rack pulled in or pushed out when a Lucas 2-speed wiper motor stops?

I'm working out which way my wiper boxes should fit...

Depends on where the cam is on the wiper motor gear really - you can pull it out and move it 180degrees.

Best bet would be to connect up the electrics and try it?

half stealing this thread, but sort of similar, can i run 2 different sweep wheel boxes at the same time (assuming they miss hitting each other )

Can't see any reason why not

Yes though obviously you'll only be able to change the sweep on the rocker boxes and no have different cams on the motor....

Sorted

I now know which way mine stops (rack pushed out) and I can see how to modify it if I want it the other way.

Life's a lot easier when you can run it under power...
