electric wipers

[mikesinky]

anyone know where you can get 12v negative ground wipers for a b2b

As far as I know there are a few options:

A: Buy an original 6 volt setup and have the motor rewound to 12 Volts.

B: Buy an original 6 volt setup and step down the voltage before the motor.

C: Find some 12 Volt motor of about the same size from some other application, and do whatever fabrication is needed to make it fit. The only problem I see with this option is that the 12 Volt motors I have seen mostly seem to work very differently. The motors are not of the same style, and may not fit in the same locations.

D: Buy some universal hot rod kit and do whatever fabrication is needed to make it fit.

Personally I like the first option the best, sure to fit, and you can get parts for everything but the windings from other PH trucks down the road if you ever have a problem. Plus it will look stock to everyone.

I have the Newport design in my truck and it was really pretty simple to install. Just make sure the gearing is set up for the proper sweep. Mine didn't come preset and I had to put it in and take it out several times before I realized what was going on.

I have a good working used 1948-50 setup on E-bay, look at this link to see it.

This is tested and works on both speeds.

I also have a working 1951-53 6 Volt 2 speed wiper setup listed for sale.

Someone sells on e-bay 12v replacements for the vacuum setup. Not sure who they are but have seem them listed for many models, prices around $200.
