    American Bosch from a '50s or '60s school bus, depending on whether you need 6v or 12v.

    When I had my '38 I had a cheapy little "Jeep" type electric unit from J.C.Whitney . But mostly I relied on Rain X to help me see .

    I am putting one on right now on my 36'. I stole the motor idea from this thread:
    http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=299143
    I'm only using one side so I'm not doing the dual arms. I plan to modify the shaft coming out of the motor to use a VW wiper arm (58-64 Bug) which is held on by a set screw. I will use the header area to mount the wiper motor and will put the switch up there as well.
