The subject was " wiper Maintenance". The spiral cable
is the drive for the wipers. It is hidden inside of tubing way
up under the dash. If your wipers do not take a full sweep
or do not go to the normal rest position when you turn the
wipers off then it is possible that the cable is worn out.
The spiral cable works sort of like a linear gear for the
wiper hardware under the dash. The other wiper hardware under the
dash are also interchangeable with the MGB parts. ( Excluding the
tubes, which are different lengths from the Tiger)
