mci-9 eletric wiper conversion with part #

[biff]

mine had thick aluminum spacers .around 3/16.i put silicon on them . to seal them. good looking job on your brackets.

 Thanks biff,
    did it also have silicone around the idler shaft as well

[biff]

yes.

[biff]

I might not have been clear. but the idler shafts had spacers too. not as thick.

[doublee]

Do you know what the spacers were made of?
I don't know what my driverside looks like yet maybe it will have them when I rip it apart

[biff]

aluminum. if you have a way to make them stainless would work good.

[doublee]

 Does anybody know if there should be a snap ring or 2 and a washer on the  grooves
 

[biff]

Mine just had a snap ring. it keeps the shaft in position when you push the wiper arms on.

[biff]

If you need new bushings or springs for your wiper arms luke can fix you up.

[doublee]

 just 1 snap ring I wonder why the have 2 grooves

[biff]

I dont think it is for a snap ring. i think it has a radias at the bottom. i would say its a path to keep water off the shaft!!!! also your not going to like the driver side.its a problem child.lol

[doublee]

don't leave me hanging what's so bad with the driver side

[biff]

The drivers side has a air vent,a dash suport ,airline plus wireing thats all in the way.but its doable.just a pain. ::)i did a littel wright up when i did mine look on page 6.have fun

I didn't realize that was your write up. I had seen that  up a few weeks ago you did a good job on them.

I did not get much done  tonight
got the idler made out of stainless
got the hole in the bracket drilled  in the right location, welded in a 1/2 x 3/4 shoulder screw.
manually moved the motor, ended up with a 34" straight line from start to finish on the arc
going home to see what I had marked on my windshield
