Yo, that was my thread that was on the south Africa OPEL site, with my DIY Single Wiper. Any one done it yet, very easy.
To get the wiper to stay in the middle of the screen, all you need to do, is loosen the motor nut, and rotate the wiper to the posistion that you want and then tighten. Simple.

make sure u shamfer (sp) and welds on both sides, needs to be a good weld otherwise when u put on 2 speed it may snap! shorter linkage-greater strain
