Electric wipers for a 1950 Wayfarer

[Lostpassword]

Hi,

Has anyone converted their Wayfarer wipers to electric?  I am running 12V but I'm not sure what would be a straight forward swap.

Thanks

Sorry this is my topic but somehow I have logged in under 'Lost Password'.

Still interested in a solution to my electric wiper question though.

12V replacements are available for some cars. Check Newport Engineering.

I converted my 1950 Special Deluxe to electric wipers using the kit from Newport Engineering.  It was a direct bolt in conversion and even came with new grommets, washers and clips to attach the wiper arms.  With just a little "hot rod" engineering I was even able to adapt the electric switch to use the stock knob from the vacuum unit so it all looks stock.

Hey R-1953,

Your reply above says 1950. On the project car list (under your photo) it says 1959. Typo?
