    My wiring harness showed up yesterday. It is very nice. It came as a package with the headlight, dimmer, wiper, and ignition switches

    you may want to look into using CJ7 wiper parts like I did for the wiper system. all you need to do is bolt the wiper motor and everything in upside down. (drill two holes through the windshield that are covered anyway by the soft top) I have that setup in my truck and it works great. I did a write up a while back.

    I like the idea of the universal individual wipers. They cost less to get than a CJ7 wiper assembly. People around here are asking over $100 for a complete used setup

    You won't like them after a couple of uses when the motors fry. I've gone through two sets now in as many years, and I am ready to do the CJ wipers myself. The Taiwanese motors are junk, plain and simple, and are the only thing out there. The stainless boat wiper motors that cost an arm and a leg aren't much better either and for two are much more expensive at around $120 a piece. You'll be money and frustration ahead by buying the CJ setup at that price, and you won't end up with no wipers on a rainy evening.

    you'd be suprised how well a bottle of cheap glass cleaner and a little RainX will do if you treat your glass around once a month... total outlay of $5 or so.

    Ran aircooled VW's for years w/faulty wipers that way.

    does that work with the vertical windshield? I really like the dual stainless wipers, but I guess I will look for a CJ setup. drats

    I am reconstructing the rusty Gladiator heater box that came with my truck. The heater core is shot, but the blower motor works. I made some templates for the patches on the box. cutting them out after i eat some lunch. I have also decided to go with the CJ wiper arms, thanks for the advice Pheonix and Randy.

    Looking good!


    And you like Oldsmobiles too! (looking at your burnout videos now) I have a '70 442 and a '66 Toronado. I'll have to swing by one of these days and have a look

    Man, I feel for you east coast guys, the rust makes it miserable. We get it here because of the constant moisture and winter chemicles a little bit, but nothing compared. Keep the faith, power on!
