Need a new electric wiper on/off switch lever for 29 Tudor
 

2 Attachment(s)
I guess today was NOT a good day for me! I was testing the electrical wiper that I just reinstalled after I replaced the sun visor and the lever broke into several pieces. Not good!

So far every place that I looked for a replacement was either discontinued--out of stock or it looked like the wrong type of lever.

Has anyone out there heard of any new levers being made?

See photos.

The levers were being reproduced but as you say, benders may be out of stock. Time to check our swap meets.

I would try Bert's in Denver as he I know has original parts plus new parts

Good Luck

Bratton's is currently the company that is making most of those electric wiper arms and levers. I believe you are looking for their #23750 https://www.brattons.com/electric-wi...rol-lever.html These are now machined so they look nicer and fit better.

That broken one looks like the on-off lever I have on my wiper. Does not seem to be reproduced by Brattons. Not sure if any other will work. It's nice that Bratton's is even making what they are for electric wipers. Much more expensive than the old pot metal pieces but much, much better quality. One of the few examples of better than OEM quality.

From that seminar it looks like any of the S-levers will work.

jak That link is for the hand operated lever and not the on/off switch lever.

Fred, it looks like the on-off lever that brattons makes that you have in your first post will fit but it may not be correct for your wiper. What type is it?

The lever in your first picture is for a closed car. The lever in your second picture is for an open car. This is why it is not the sMe.

Thanks to everyone that replied. You guys are always a great help. I was able to purchase a original used on/off lever in great condition.

Thanks again!
