I intended to post this a couple days ago when I first saw it.
Adding a delay mechanism to the X's wipers has been discussed several times. There are a few approaches to it. One that has been suggested is the possibility of a unit sold for Lada's. It is a kit from the online Lada parts source...
After my custom color match for the floor jack, here is my next seemingly useless mod. The thing that always bugged me was the size, shape and location of the wiper wash fluid tank.So after a day in a junkyard I found one that looked right (see photo). I managed to squeeze it in the pass side...
why didn't I think of this when I had the car apart? I could have taken a late model wiper system and adopted it.... I remember the old JC whitney kit, and was wondering what the electrical gurus here would think is possible....I would like a simple knob on the dash that goes from "no delay" to...
I mentioned this awhile back because I read on here where someone had done this except with a 12 to 16.5 step up voltage converter. I found the thread in the archives but they never posted any photos, diagrams, videos, etc. Then they just disappeared.

Anyone have a diagram available? This would be...
Using this thread as a guide I rigged up a plug & play wiper relay harness to try and speed up the wipers on the 131.
Tomorrow I will pick up an inline fuse and see if it works.
For anyone interested, here's my programmable intermittent wipers files. It contains PIC code, and ExpressPCB schematic and board layouts. I'll add some parts lists and other documentation when I get a chance.
Currently it's been tested in a US 1300 and is plug & play.
It *should* work in a...
The Leiszig windshield wiper mod was the first mod I saw after joining XWeb about four years ago, and I immediately saved it as a Favorite.

Taking a page from Bob Brown's book, I set...
