KraZeeZX Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 First off... hey everyone! I've been on hiatus for a few years (graduated college, working full time, blah blah blah) but my Z has been back under construction for the past 2 months and well... I've got 1 problem to tackle before she's out on the road and "daily-driver" worthy. Needless to say, my right foot is getting very antsy. The last piece I need to fix is a solution for my windshield wipers. Due to pushing the firewall back to fit the LS1 comfortably, the stock z32 wiper linkage is cramped, blocked near the center of the windshield and therefore, completely useless. I was curious if there are any direct-drive motors + wiring harnesses out there that I could adapt making the need for the typical linkage unnecessary. Or, anything else that could fix this issue aside from just using a heaping dose of rain-x everyday, haha... Any ideas? Thanks Vann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Nice to have you back. Maybe you could adapt a hot rod wiper kit: http://www.hotrodsusa.com/buynow/manufactures/specialty/winwipkit.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrodpez Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 JC Whitney sells individual wiper motors, originally for Jeeps, I think. Also, take a look at VW Beetle (early) wiper assemblies. This one is really early, later on (late 60s to early 70s) used a beefier bracket and motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KraZeeZX Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Great suggestions guys, I appreciate the help! Now to get dirty and do some research to see what'll actually work best. I can't believe she'll be back out on the road soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
