Can any one tell me if there is a good conversion to electric wipers out there. My customer is not to hot about the vaccum wipers. Thanks.
on my 57 RW , a chevy 55-57 motor bolts right up. simple
There are about 2-3 suplliers that make these, on the back on the rod and custom magazine there is one, i think they called Raingear system
Newport Engineering
Also I found these http://www.julianos.com/electric_wiper_conversions.html
or Gearhead Enterprises, but didn't they make that faulty 605 box conversion...

or from what I hear 55-57 chevy electric wiper setups are a exact fit. Also 1960 Galaxie, apparently fit?
There is a guy on ebay right now with a 20 day auction, he has a $159 buy it now price. Says its a bolt up piece, I couldn't find a # on the auction. Let us know what you go with and how it worked. Mark

thanks for the info.
Got mine from Concours Parts $185. They work great, but don't use them very often.

My car already had the '57 Chevy motor installed when I bought it. Looks like it came that way.
