Installing a Universal Cable Driven Windshield Wiper system in your Hot Rod, Kit Car, or Anywhere!

Thanks for posting it looks like a solid option for power wipers on my old truck

[@Stoneface_Garage]

Yes especially if it had old vacuum operated ones!

Been working on this sysytem on and off for about three months. I am building a Custom '47 Ford pickup. Since I have to go underneath the factory dash....I have to work UPSIDE down !! First..the system does work. Some problems came around. The aluminum tubing came in shorter sections, they were male and female threaded ends. Which brake VERY easy. I wound usind 3/8 copper tubing (more rigid ) The wiper gear assembly had to be manually bent in closer to allow the cable to grab the gear teeth. I called the company and this is what they recommend. At one point the motor (itself) moved away from the mounting bracket ! I had to bolt in a long bolt n nuts so it wouldn't keep moving. I watched your process and ...THANK YOU for helping with the full sweep and stop ! I will be able rap it up tomorrow. Thanks again

Great video - much respect for your mechanical abilities

[@Stoneface_Garage]

Thank you! 😊

Do you know what cable wiper system would work for single blade?

[@Stoneface_Garage]

@Fazel_Patel There's no reason that this system shown would not work with only a single wiper transmission.

Seems like its a nice system once you get it all sorted oiut

[@robertgoodman1261]

Great info, thanks. Just got the same system and said crap no instructions !!! Should you grease the gears and cable ?

[@Stoneface_Garage]

It comes loaded with grease in the gearboxes, messy to work with. Probably enough in there to spread along the whole cable, but do it after you've got it all roughed in!

Would mounting the motor with cotton reel style rubber mounts reduce NVH?

[@Stoneface_Garage]

Nice idea, have thought about it, easily done with how I have it spaced away from the firewall. It's more about N than VH though as the motor is smooth but noisy. It will be hidden behind an insulated kick panel eventually, might even insulate the aluminum tubes.

do you have a link to instructions?

ingenuity...you have that in "𝕤𝕡𝕒𝕕𝕖𝕤" friend...salute!! btw..single flare on cable tubing is fine since it does not have a large load bearing area. .
