57 den, how did that speciality wiper system work out? I have a hydraulic clutch master cylinder set up under the dash... seems like those arms on the raingear windshield wiper setup would interfere...Thanks...
The SPW system works well. I located it on the passenger side kick panel cavity. IT uses a flexible cable system that runs inside a small aluminum tube. The registers may get in your way. I did have to modify mine to fit. around my brake cylinder reservoirs.
I am also looking to put Wilwood clutch compact Master cyclinder under dash, mounted on top of pedal asm - so I am concerned with wiper mechanism and vintage air clearance.
Raingear or SPW better for clearance?
Acerman ... I'm about to put the same components in my 55. I have the wilwood clutch master cylinder under the dash now and it looks tight. I'm not sure if its going to get in the way of a raingear wiper system... I think it is. I'm looking at options for the wiper system now.
I found a You-Tube video that shows the Raingear operating with dash cutaway in a '57. Looks like it will be close - but should fit. Don't know how this would apply to your '55...but it is an interesting video.
I have the raingear wiper system installed, works great. Had to clearance the arm a bit , it was hitting the master cylinder hose fitting, Have yet to put the A/C in yet...
