Re: Vacuumn wiper replacement?

Normally the motor is mounted high on the left kick panel. At least that is how the instructions say to mount it and then run the tube up and over to the drivers side wiper and then run the tube from there to the passenger side and have a length of tube out beyond the passenger side a set amount. I need to buy new tubing when I move mine from the old cab to the new cab.

I'm going to have to contact them and get a new instruction sheet as I bought the kit three moves ago.

Re: Vacuumn wiper replacement?

I put the fuse panel clear to the left, so I didn't have room to put it there. The instructions I had were mainly universal. Just said no tighter than 3" radius bend on tubing. 4" end tube tail with flare on both ends to minimize chatter. Need access to motor door to set sweep. Wiring schematic. And the large square variable speed switch will fit in the stock location. Was on sale at the beginning of covid for around $200. Maybe sold as a universal, so no specific vehicle info. Then, still cheaper than sourcing a 2 speed motor and then linkage. They wanted $150+ just for linkage kit.
Trial and error as we go.
