Re: Electric Wiper Conversion on the cheap

If I'm reading the picture correctly, the top "Y" is a stationary brace and the bottom "Y" is the motionary section. Judging from linkage setup, it looks like it would turn a single direction rotation into a self-reversing momentum at the secondary pivot point.

While this looks like it would work, I think you will find a slight bit of difficulty modifying it to work with our trucks for a couple reasons... 1. The lengths of the arms will undoubtably need to be altered and 2. You will need to add some hard mounting points for all the parts. I'm not saying it won't work, because it looks like it will, but you may need a little research and some trial and error to get the angle of sweep to what you seek out of it.

On another note, I'll be researching some other motors here soon... seems like I've got more requests than I can pass up and I'd like to see if I can get a two speed setup!

Best of luck and cheers!
Ted.
