Electric wiper

If your 6 volt wipers work and you have converted to 12 volt,why don't you install a 6 volt 12 volt from antiqueautobattery.com 800 426 7580. I used one in a 38 Packard that used 12 volts for starting and 6 volts for every thing else. It has three terminals,ground,6 volt,and 12 volt.Run 12 volt off the key switch and have a relay that opens when the key switch is on,to power up 6 volt stuff.

It looks just like a regular battery.lower right corner,in picture.It states that switch comes with battery,to change from 6-12 volts about $225.This price is about 4 years old. middle second up is just the 6-12 battery for $145.

It might be worth signing up on the HAMB and asking over there. Our trucks are among the last using vacuum wipers so many of the guys over there have fab'd up wipers from more modern stuff. Hokey *** Message Board - THE H.A.M.B.

Wow, thats kinda what I thought, it is an entire battery, doesnt seem like its going to be the best alternative for my situation but thank-you for taking the time to post the info anyway, I am also curious about longevity.

Thanks for the info, I have some older cars and have been recommended a battery tender and will have to go ahead and make the purchase. I have not heard a downfall to these.

It's easy to fit and modify to suit as its cable drive so the motor can be mounted out of the way, gives 2 speeds with auto park, The tubes are easily cut to adjust spacing between the wipers
