Early Wiper Mystery.

[Cruiser_Nerd]

I found these in Wilma (Jason's LV). After reading more threads on LV's then I ever wanted to............it looks like they don't belong there anyhow.

That's not the mystery. Looks like a TNK, fits like a TNK.....................GEM?

 

[Cruiser_Nerd]

Cute part is, they are set up to run positive to the motor and ground through the switch (opposite the early 40 setup). Theoretically they would work the same way if you reverse the polarity.................except for the little tab that creates a dead short to the frame.

Anybody ever deal with these?

Three pics, and not one that shows the rotating output.

And no, I've never seen one.

i kinda recall those being on boats...a boat wiper assembly...isnt GeM still in buisness

 

[Cruiser_Nerd]

For the inquiring mind........................ a shot from the front.

Yep Johnny, didn't find GeM but looks like the current manufacturer is Marinco/AFI.

the fj45lv ones I have seen are like the FJ55 wiper motors...but a slightly bigger can IIRC...

 

[JohnnyC]

Marinco/AFI they have quite a few wiper kits...and wiper arms that look cruiserish
