Windshield wiper on homemade cab

[kjb]

Does anyone know which vehicle rear wiper has a 90 degree sweep. I'm building a cab for my MX5100 tractor and have left a mounting point for a wiper front and back that requires a 90 degree sweep. There plentiful and cheap at the wreckers, but it would be much easier to find the proper motor and arm assembly if I know what vehicle has the proper sweep. They're are tons of Caravans available, it would be great if it had the proper sweep.

Check out boat windshield wipers.

If you head to the salvage yard the amount of sweep should be obvious. Due to the grit that gets swept along with the blade, windows get at least a small amount of visible blade track area.

Thanks, Good point. If I can't find out the specs in advance, that should be an easy way to figure it out at the yard

For $80 I bought this one: http://tmcin.com/modeltmc-0091101-1...th2-13shaftandcomplete14wiperarmandblade.aspx

Adjustable angle, includes arm and blade, 2 speed, made for easy installation, might be worth at least taking a look.

Don't forget to check the back windows of the vehicles. I'm guessing most of them are only around 90 degrees.

I think your going to find it tough to find one with only a 90 degree sweep. They pretty much all rest in a horizontal position on the back of van's, suv's and wagons. With only a 90 degree sweep that would point them straight up and only halfway across the back window.

I know you can buy universal wiper assemblies made for custom cars/antique's that offer fully adjustable sweeps. You can set the sweep start and stop points wherever you need them. I ended up buying one of these style for my cab but without the option of adjustable sweep as I didn't need it. I got mine from Summit Racing.
