    Where to place the sealing bead on conventional windshield rubber?

    I don't recall using any on a the rear window. The front it's in the corners, I did both inside the rubber on both glass and steel. Riddler

    wiper motor placement with set back firewall?

    Electric Hydroboost you say? Got a link as that might work? I'm still working on the trunk panels. It's a complete stereo install along with upholstery and other fun stuff. Riddler

    wiper motor placement with set back firewall?

    I'm so jealous of your hydroboost. I tried so hard to install one but I should of thought about it before the firewall was smoothed down and painted. I would of moved the entire brake setup over. But I didn't know what the time. Riddler

    74 Duster front license plate

    MY 76 has white plastic push pins that push into the square openings. You can then screw the license plate into the bumper. Riddler

    Wiper problem

    I had the same issue. The arm that bolts onto the motor is out 180*. If you didn't remove that then the entire motor is in upside down. Riddler

    Wiper Help....

    I have changed the length of the arm from the motor to the driver side pivot. The arm from drivers side to passenger side hasn't changed. Also the Neon motor has a shorter lever on it. I don't have space where/how the motor is mounted to make the lever longer. I'm going to try and see if I...

    Wiper Help....

    After I changed the linkage both left and right need more. SO I'm still thinking moving the driver's side pivot point is what will work. Riddler

    Wiper Help....

    Sorry I didn't mean to leave you out. I do value your opinion and expertise. I think I'm going to be able to work on it a little tonight. I'm going to move the motor and wiper to the farthest point and then pop off the linkage. I'll move the wiper and pinpoint where to install a new pivot...

    Wiper Help....

    Ok I changed the linkage points on the drivers side pivot. I had them wrong and now there right according to the book. Both wipers are now only going 17” which is roughly 60%. Here are the measurements I took. Wiper motor lever is 1.75” so travel is 3.5” Pivot to arm attachment is 3” I’m...

    I'll get some exact measurements tonight. Length of the driver's side arm, how far pivot points are, etc. Riddler

    Wiper Help....

    The wiper motor turns in complete circles. I'll have to measure the distance on the motor lever but I believe it's close to 2". So it starts pointing towards the driver's side and goes counter clockwise. This it'll have roughly 4" of throw. Now I'm thinking that if the driver's side needs...

    Wiper Help....

    Wouldn't changing the driver's side arm also increase the passenger side wiper sweep as well? This is why I thought changing the pivot point on the driver's side pivot closer would be a better option. I'll have to take some measurements and let you guys play with the numbers and such. You'll...

    Wiper Help....

    I tried the slight bend in the arm. I have a few options to look at all. I'm thinking changing the arm length might not do it. I'm going to have to do some homework and see if I can figure out moving the pivot point or shortening the arm. I don't think it's the arm, I think it's the pivot...

    Wiper Help....

    I know the passenger side arm wasn't modified. I did have to cut the driver's side in order to change the motor attachment. I also moved the motor closer to the driver's side in order to have room for the condenser. I believe I'll do some homework tonight and post up my results. I'm going to...

    Wiper Help....

    Hmm I guess that might be even easier. However how far in do I move it? Is it direct relation? So I need 4" then I have to move the pivot in 4"? Or is there a ratio? I'm guessing it'll be a trial and error type of thing... Riddler

    Wiper Help....

    Here's how @retroron did his Dodge Neon wiper motor. Mine is very similar but had to be moved closer to the drivers side to make room for the AC condenser. I'm pretty sure I need to increase the wiper motor lever but due to space constraints I can't install a longer lever arm. I'm trying to...

    Wiper Help....

    So I'll need a shorter arm? I tried a longer arm and couldn't get it work. I feel that a shorter arm wouldn't work. After some reading about how wiper transmissions work I felt the problem lies with the pivot point on the wiper motor. Does anyone have a photo of how the stock wipers are...

    Here's my issue. I believe by extending the drivers side pivot point from the wiper motor, I'll be able to gain some more swiping area. Riddler

    Wiper Help....

    Ok guys, Before I start, this isn't a just replace it sort of deal. On my 76 Duster with 6.1 Hemi I needed to use a smaller wiper motor, so I went with a Dodge Neon motor hidden up under the dash. I remade the driver's side arm from the motor to pivot. The passenger side is perfect as I...

    Hood hinge repair or replacement

    Oh there pretty, they also look well designed. Myself I might have lightened them up by milling out the indented areas right out. I can't justify the cost on something I can't see any doesn't increase the safety, speed or overall driveability of the car, I don't see a need. Riddler

    Hood hinge repair or replacement

    I still love the billet hinges but can't fathom the huge price. I have a machinist living next to me... might have to see what he'd charge to mill a set. Riddler

    Vent Window Rivet on Upper Pivot

    I've polished enough stainless trim to know that only the purest form doesn't rust. Might only be surface but I'd seen it. Riddler

    Thanks, I did find 2 different kinds of refills on Amazon. One Anco brand and one Trico brand. Both say they'll fit the 16" Anco assemblies. I've ordered both. One pair was $4 and the other $7.50. I'll check the fitment when I get them in and report back. It'll be a while since they are...

    Thanks guys. I have some very light rust spots so I'll try steel wool. Was going to try a magnet on them to see what they are. I looked up Trico 33-160 and 33-162 and found nothing. Are these the direct replacements for the Anco blades. Riddler

    Yes my car uses the 16" blades. Anyway to get that matte grey look or should I just paint them aluminum? Riddler
