I put in new vacuum lines, (thought it maybe needed more umph), but no change. Is this normal? It seems odd that the driver would have to constantly change the direction of the wiper.
Also, unlike my 54, the seat in the 46 does not move. It is bolted to the base. Did they move in 46? Perhaps this seat is a replacement, and the person eliminated the track and just bolted this? As always, thank you, Scott | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 720 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 720 | Dunno anything 'bout the wipers, but if you cant find a seat with rails, I have a set from a '56 you might be able to adapt to your seat.

Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P

But thank you for the offer, Scott | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 66 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 66 | 51 ashton, The linkage arms you described must be on your 51. The 46 is not under the dash, but is a motor at the top of the windshield (one for each side). Thank you for the input, and I'm glad you got yours to work.
