guys, the vendors sell wiper boots and Plates. Were they installed originally ? On all models of electrical wipers ? And then yet add a 10mm rubber block on each side ? The JS do not make that perfectly clear to me as there is not an applications chart for the boots and plates ......

What does your car show ? I am talking an early 1929 Tudor (model 1928 actually).

Please help me out on this minor issue !

Yes, the electric (original) wipers used "boots and plates". It seems to me that the JS tells you just which ones to use with a particulr electric wiper.

Pluck, going trough a lot of trouble i am trying to install the OD C1B finally. Will the B2 boots give more clearance than the B3 ? I Have a lot of trouble creating enough clearance for the drive shaft arm when mounting just the B3 boots ....

In excess there was a spring mounted between the drive shaft and the housing. Leaving me puzzeld as it is ...

In addition to all of this, looks like the drive shaft has a push in function for handoperating. If i leave the spring out to gain some space, this function will disapper, won't it ? If i add rubber blocks neither the axels makes it to pass beyond the edge of the window frame ....

Prisoner's dilemma ?
