1953/54 Chevrolet RainGear Wiper System Installation Instructions

Pacific Western Design 53/54 Chevrolet Wiper System is designed to install in cars which are modified to use a 12- volt negative ground electrical system only and is not available for 6-volt(original)cars.
First: DISCONNECT YOUR BATTERY·
(You will be working under the dash in an area of your vehicle, which contains its greatest concentration of electrical wiring.)
• Remove the radio and the stock radio support bracket from the firewall.
• Remove the stock radio speaker and the chrome speaker grill-ashtray casting which is held to the dash with the same four studs that hold the speaker. (The two hex nuts above the ashtray shield do not hold the speaker grill to the dash and do not need to be removed.)
Installation is easier if the glove box is removed.
• Remove the wiper control knob and cable from the dash.
SAVE THE KNOB FOR USE WITH THE NEW SYSTEM.
• Remove your wiper arms and blades.
Dismantle original wiper system:
• Remove both the right and left slotted escutcheon nuts that hold the stock pivot shafts (the parts that the wiper arms attach to).
• Push the pivot shafts into the interior of the vehicle.
• Remove the vacuum motor control cable from the vacuum motor and push it into the interior of the car.
• Remove the wiper motor.
• Remove the spool assembly from the firewall.
• Remove the wiper motor control cable from the dash.
Those of you who wish to retain the original appearance of the car may want to return the motor to the original location on the firewall after the Pacific Western Design system is installed and operational. A block-off plate is included if you would like to cover the hole in the firewall.
