You will have to take this up with Ed. Nice idea but I don't think it would
work with the GT6 (and pre-early 70's Spitfires) as the 'washing' action is
invoked by pushing the washer button which manually pumps the fluid (no
electronics involved). So there is no way to electronically 'sense' that the
washers have been used.

Ed's unit has a rheostat that can be remotely placed so the interval can be
varied as desired. It is not just a fixed intermittent interval. I
fabricated a plate to mount the rheostat on on the steering column across
from the trip odometer reset knob.
