When I got our 26 touring it had many accessories and I can't remember how the vacuum line was routed from the manifold to the wiper motor. This came apart in early 60's and I have trouble remembering what happened last week. I would like to reinstall the wiper. Does anyone have this wiper or anything that shows how the lines for an open car are installed? I tried to find something on the internet but could not.
To get started I thought about a Model A lines and tubing. If I can't find a suitable way designed for the T, I will use the A pieces somehow. Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Accessory Vacuum wiper
Nick, somewhere on line or in the repair books there are great pics. Sorry I can’t help more than that. I had one on a previous open car. DO NOT refer to the 15th million T as it’s all incorrect.

Re: Accessory Vacuum wiper
This may help a little. Seem to remember there was something unusual about how they tied into the manifold. I don’t think it looped around the front, but can’t remember. If ou need a wiper arm, A&L makes an outstanding replica. They only sell wholesale now so you would need to check wit( a model A Parts house.

Re: Accessory Vacuum wiper
Dropacent, Rich,
Thanks for the info and the pic gives what I need. We don't drive the car in the rain but it is good to have things in working order just in case. And it is nice to have the accessory. I will complete tomorrow. Really appreciate your help.
