Yes, but many switches does not have the contacts inside the switch, only empty
holes there. So it is not as easy as removing the block. This can vary from switch
to switch; one have to check.

Yes. There is a jumper installed in place of the relay, just to get the power from
one wire to another, instead of through the relay. Clearly, the Rabbit described in
that Bentley was set up for int. wipers from the factory, while the type3 was not.
So it is not as easy as replacing the switch, one have to add the wires too. (also
from the Rabbit, the colors are the right ones) I am in the process of scanning the
'73 wiring diagrams, and I will try to add the needed wires and relay, and mark
them with red or something.
