Still dealing with congestion but otherwise much better, going into week five of this (probably covid) cold.

Today I made huge progress. The heater box is complete, louver vents were installed in the front cover and the cover installed. The defrost vents are plumbed in, and the AC duct reinstalled.

I got the atv wiper motor installed. It took some time. I made a mounting bracket from angle iron, and shortened the output shaft. I made a new crank arm using a uni bit to simulate the coned hole, then cut splines with a file.

The motor doesn't articulate as far as the original, so i Don't get full sweep. I might someday experiment with a longer crank arm.

Plan A will always be to avoid rain and rain x is my friend but at least I have some wiper action now.

The rear vacuum motor drives the arm directly. To modify the output shaft of this specific electric motor would be quite the challenge to get the splines good enough so the original arm would fit, but perhaps in the future I'll order another and get the rear wiper working.

The radio was mounted in the glove box, with the radio install sleeve welded to a mounting plate. I cut the old sleeve off, prepped the plate, then welded the spacers in place, then welded the old install sleeve back on. I caught the mistake, cut the sleeve back off, and welded the new sleeve on. The mounting bracket is now ready to install.

Tomorrow I should be able to mount the dash and finish the wiring.
