You can make a simple one using servos and micro switches. There is a guide here-

You can get them from maplin electronics-

If you only intend to use windscreen wiper motors you can get away with just these microswitches.
Those arent spdt relays though theyre spco and spno relays. but im not sure it matters
SPDT: Single Pole Double Throw
SPCO: Single Pole Change Over
Basically they are the same thing, 5 pins, 2 for the coil, a common, normally open and normally closed.
SPNO: Single Pole Normally Open.
This has 4 pins, 2 for coil, a common and a normally open.
