Brains Trust Help - Vacuum Wipers

[Jim Price]

I've got an F8 and cleaned up and reassembled both wiper units only to find one did not work. Took it apart again and found that the "rocker" arm needed adjusting. It wouldn't close on one side so the other could open. I forget exactly what it needed but in any case it worked after I tinkered with it.

Not sure but Mac's in New York state may have some parts.

Regards,
Jim

Hi tony,my wipers work ok now after spraying CRC up the vacuum pipe and working it back and forward to lubricate ,work fine now,probably just dry.

I do have NOS vacuum wiper motors that I service with the correct Trico grease to be sure they are working properly. (they have some flaking paint from loose storage and while there are left and right hand versions I only have one side - not a problem since it is just the direction of the rubber hose fitting). $70 each.
For the wiper motor enthusiast I do have the special Trico screwdriver for those odd screwheads that hold the all Trico motors together. $10. Plus a stock of NOS Trico wiper blades, arms and acorn nuts for the wiper arm. PM me for further enquiries

Brian,
For those of us in Ontario/Quebec, do you have enough of the screwdrivers that you will be likely to have some available for the OMVA winter swap (presumably February in Acton)? Or is this a special "act now or miss your chance" offer?
Thanks.

Hi Grant,
I've saved you a screwdriver to deliver at the next show but the action has been swift on the others.
Thanks, Brian

So can I get stuff for Xmas.....?

Hi Brian

Can I ask for two wipers, two arms, two nuts...... can pay now and pickup later.........


Back in my old Dodge days.... we use to take them apart....clean them... usually gummed up...... lightly lubricate with Vaseline petroleum jelly and they worked like new...... some US surplus suppliers still have Dodge wiper repair kits....
