Windshield wipers on chopped cars?

I gotta have some to get inspected.What do you guys do?

 

chop them too.

 

That was too easy.

 

perhaps you could get away with using those bmw 4" headlight wipers?

 

1. Tape some wipers on.
2. Put a bottle of Jack under the seat.
3. Ask technician to check the rattle under the seat -before inspection.
4. Get sticker.

 

what kind of car? have a wiper motor? try using VW arms/blades or cut some down.

 

Bought a blade from Big Al's and cut it down.

 

I used a wiper and motor from a boat.

 

Just cut them down

 

After 15 years of driving my car without wipers, I finally broke down and installed one of teh Speedway 29 dollar el cheapo single wiper kits. It works really, really well. Whenever it rains, I can't help but giggle my ass off.

I cut the wiper arm and blade down to fit my windshield, wired it up and was done in about 20 minutes. Painted the arm and blade black and you can't even see it.

Good luck, -Abone.

 

move to a state w / no inspection

i usually run one on the drivers side and a bullet on the other side and rainex on whole winshield works well at about 70 MPH

 

Newport Engineering has a wide variety of wiper arms and blades. And some great wiper assemblies. Gary

 

the mercedes headlight ones work out if its super chopped id jus whack down the originals

 

There are quite a few rear wiper motors that can be made to work in front. I think it was Dodge Omni that I used years ago.

 

Early Jeep arms, blades, or parts/combinations thereof.

 

Go fast enough and you won't need wipers

 

I don't know if they are still around but there was a hot rod supply outlet called Queens. They had some real nice setups with real short arms.

 

Thanks for all the help! I have a '41/'46 Ford 'vert chopped 4.5". I don't care if the wipers work I just want to get thru inspection.

 

Uh, around here they not only have to be there, they have to work to pass inspection.

 

I'm supprised no one has marketed short wipers and arms with all the chopped cars out there.

 

They do. Vintique makes arms as small as 6" I believe.

 

Yes I was going to suggest VW arms and blades too. The early blades are very simple straight rubber pieces pinched in a metal strip that can easily be cut to length.

Several years ago we had a walk in SOCAL Speed shop store in the Houston area, They stocked shortened wiper arms and blades but I never saw them in the catalog I had.
Not sure if they were a normally stocked SOCAL item
