Windshield wiper parking on RHD models? 120-130

Attention RHD Brickboarder;

Background: On LHD models (both Amazon and 1800), the wipers park such that the drivers side wiper points toward the middle of the vehicle. Occasionally, I've seen where when the wiper linkages are dissasembled and reassembled, they will park on the wrong side (for us)...but by strategically changing the way the linkage attaches the motor to the wiper axel, this is corrected. I was wondering if this was done by design, such that on RHD models the wipers could easily be configured to park on the "other" side?

Question: Which way do wipers park on RHD models?

Hey Jim H. ...which side of the road do you drive on?

Thanks in advance to all responders!

    Hi Ron,

    Here in New Zealand we drive on the right side of the roads (some say the wrong side), like in Australia, Britain and many other countries. My car came here from UK in 1976, shipped by a family emigrating. I'm the second owner. So my car is a right hand drive one and the speedo is all in miles, the wipers park to the right as you can see on photo below.

    Regards
