Re: Automatic wipers
Here is something useful that may answer your question, I thought of fitting a vacuum wiper to my 29, they go along with all the other must do work that makes driving a double A fun,?.Chris Haynes wrote:Getting back to my original question.

Here are some pics taken of a 29 at the Motor Transport Museum in Campo Ca, some cutting and carving as to be done to remove the manual shaft bracket, in addition to running the Vacuum line, Marco on Fordbarn has the diagram for drilling the mounting holes in the window frame.
I decided to stay original and use Rain X should we venture out on a wet day.
