I've been getting a little work done, and not have the underfloor reinforcements done, and now have to ties to the windshield fab'ed and tacked. Now to weld them and fit and weld in the final four bar reinforcements.

Windshield wiper?

Post by W_A_Watson_II »

Whats a windshield wiper?

Actually, I'm still hoping someone comes up with a good 12 volt option. I have the vacuum units, but based on the results of the ones I had re-built for the PW, I won't go that route. Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks,
Will

Vacume Style

Post by m-37Bruce »

Is what I'm going with. Cabell has 12 volt electronics, I don't remember the brand, but they are on his web page. The problem is they are enormous, & right in the line of sight.
Charles Talbert uses a 12 volt wiper, he might chime in?

12 V wipers

Post by SOTVEN »

Hello friend, nice work you did there. Regarding the wipers, perhaps you could find something out of a back hoe or a buldozer. Those wipers are intented for single pieces of flat glass and as far as I know some are available in 12 V. I do vote for electric over vacum however. :)

We can't post pictures on the new forum (yet). Robi is working on getting it set up so that we can, though. Hang in there...it will come. :)

To paint it green, live with it a while, it could grow on us?
BTW, Did you get the wiper pix?
