As I am waiting for some parts to get back on the rewiring, I modified the modified wipers
As I said, I took the bearings out the skateboardwheels, made new wiperrods and put them back in.
Sounds fast, but it was 5 hours of work to get it properly working.
It works great, only now I want the wipermotor mounted in rubbers...
This is the first modification, also worked, but the bearings were bronze and way gone.
Took it apart, you can see the skateboard bearings that I used.
Plan is to weld the bearing on a newly made rod:
Leftside was easy, a little bent here and there.
The rightside had to be fabricated:
This piece is mounted on the wipermotor, it's in testmode
This is the leftside, ready and mounted:
The rightside ready and mounted:
And the wipermotor:
I never had such great working wipers on a classic car
When I had the wipers off, I cleaned out the cowlvent and took Mr Taz off, who was sitting there for several years I think...
I think it looks pretty solid in there. Only at passengersside at the lower hinge is rust that I have to weld. The rest I will see when the front comes off.
I also bought a little present for the truck
