    I own 08669 and am having a problem with my windsceen wipers. When the knob is in the "off" position, the wipers are only (say) 75% down. When I turn on the wipers, the wipers immediately go down the remaining 25% to the correct off location and then imediately operate correctly. However, when I turn the wipers off, they always end up in the 75% down position (vs. the 100% down position). How and where is the wiper motor adjusted to correct this problem?

    I have no idea what type of wiper motor 275 use, but if it is using Lucas power, the cut of switch can be adjusted by a finger screw that is located on the motor gearbox, right beside where the cable comes out. Best wishes, Kare

    Kare,

    Yes, it is a Lucas unit. Thanks for the answer.

    p.s. If you go on to Google and type in Greenwich Concours 2010 + Ferrari 275 GTB you will see 5 pictures of 08669 only 30 hours after completion of a 19 month restoration.
