Intermittent wiper switch form Brothers trucks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I see Brothers advertises an intermittent switch for the wipers.
Anyone use one of these ?
I need to know what is involved. Do you need other parts, or just hook this switch up to a wiper motor and go ?

I actually want it for a tractor so no fit and matching issues.

I just need to know what I need to make this work with a simple 2 speed wiper motor.

Thanks for any help

If I had the part in front of me I could probably answer you. Do you have a link? If it's like ones I've installed you just hook them up and you can either use the original switch or the intermittent switch.

That's not the same deal as I was thinking of. It says designed to work "with" their electric conversion kit. That makes me think it's not used alone as a switch replacement,like the ones I've used. I know early wipers were vacuum and many convert to electric,but they confuse things by printing 47-72 kit. I'd call them and ask questions. They must expect that with as little info they give combined with what they do give being inaccurate

I bought a add on switch to make mine intermittent and it didn't work. instructions said it wouldn't work with certain motors!!! I also sent them a question if it would work with mine?
hope so..
