Ron,

It you mean something to hold the coach off the ground when an airspring blows, that is just a 13" long piece of 1" pipe and a longer piece of 1/2 threaded rod with nuts and washers.

Ken Henderson still makes and sells the electric wiper kits. He is here often, but right now he is in Rapid City and will be for a few days more.

Matt

Ron, I don't know where you are but I am with Ken at Rapid City and he has wiper kits that he is selling. You can contact him through the phone number on his web page. If you can figure out a way to pay him you might be able to have someone bring the kit in your general area and save the shipping. There are folks here from most everywhere in the US and Canada.

I just installed one of kens wiper kits this year and I really like it. You have to find a wiper motor and wiring harness with connector from the wreckers or buy brand new from the parts house, to a Pontiac TranSport or Chev Lumina APV from the 90s. (He will tell what exact ones.)

Kens price includes free shipping to the lower 48. Here is his web site. Maybe he will get your inquiry while he is still at the rally.

Please add your location to your info line. It helps the hive to know where you are located, if you need help from someone close to your location.
If you go to the men's mall to grab the wiper motor from a vehicle, be sure and get the pigtail attached to the motor. Sure makes the task easier. Take a star bit with you to remove the screws holding the motor in place.
Ken's wiper install is easy, and works well.

I cut a 4"x4" to 15" long. Drilled a pilot hole in each end and used lag bolts to hold it in.
15" lifts the back end high enough for towing.
Previous Topic: Noisy Lifter (I think)
Next Topic: [GMCnet] Original jack. I figured out a use.
