Thanks for the responses

The car I’m building will be a daily driver so I think I’ll pass on the hand and vacuum wipers

I’ve seen the ads for conversions like the one from Drake but since I don’t have the original posts and linkages, and would have to search out and purchase those parts, I thought something like this Auto-Loc unit might be worth looking into:

I’ve also seen what look like similar systems advertised in some of the magazines.

So I guess my questions really revolve around the reliability and ease of installation (not to mention cost) of both the 12 volt retro-fit system (Drake and others) and the Auto-Loc type system. If anyone has had experience with either of these, I’d like to hear how it worked out for you.

Now, the VW idea intrigues me. I have to make a junk yard run sometime this week-end so I’ll take a tape measure and check it out. Come to think of it, I may have some RX-7 parts that might work.

Thanks again, this is a great forum.
