Re: 51 Chev on a S10 frame, named Dale

Ahhh, the wiper motor..... what a PITA

I picked up a wiper motor with a 90* swing (rear hatch from a Subaru, so the guy said)

I tried to place it in the middle of the 2 wiper arms, with some brackets I made, and then attach each arm to an adjustable bracket that attached to the wiperassembly , so I could fine tune the movement of each wiper. After hours of lying on my back, trying to get both wipers to work, unsuccessfully, I decided to have just the driver's side function, and the Passenger side glass will be covered with RainX (or Wax).

The pics aren't great, but what you see are the 2 brackets from flat bar, 1 bracket is welded to the dash support, the other is bolted, and you can see where I welded the rotating arm to the wiper assembly, and it is attached to the stock wiper arm.

I hooked up a 12v Battery and it seems to go back a forth fine. I will just need to turn it off when the wiper blade is down. No Auto-Park for me.

Motor is almost assembled, but still needs paint and attach trans. (clutch and flywheel)........ step by step.... inch by inch...
