The problem I am running into is that the switches from the 65 won't fit on
the panel you sent. The back part of the switch body is too big. I am
cleaning and greasing the two smaller switches that I have taken apart
because they were not making contact consistantly. I have one of Ed
Esslingers wiper delay units mounted in the 68, it works like a dream!! It
is my intention to place the delay knob in the center of the panel once I
get the switches to work correctly. I will send more information on the
wiper delay installation soon.
