Windshield Wipers - which side?
If you look through the 'gallery' in the website, it appears that most of the Cobras have the wipers 'parked' on the passenger's side, although some do 'park' on the driver's side. It's probably a 60-40 split but I got fed up looking after about 10 cars... 
Mine work fine, but are 'parked' on the passenger side. Looking at the windshield from the front, when you switch on the wipers, the initial rotation of mine is to the right, thus necessitating the "passenger side park". I am 99% certain this is an electrical wiring issue of some kind where I need to change so that the initial 'rotation' is to the left.
Not that I really give a rats as I am ONLY installing the wipers to pass inspection, but...
a) Does it REALLY matter which side they are 'parked'
b) How do you get them to park on the driver's side, which gives you the better visibility? Is it some polarity change in the wiring, as I have mine wired the way the instructions specify....(at least I think I do, but with Lucas electrics, who knows?).
