How to set a wiper on a center rest while keeping the equal left and right stroke? ?

1. Alfred Says: How can i set it like the V8 racing cars? Is this possible for a sedan which has a two mounted wiper on the left and in the middle of the bottom of the windshield? My plan is to remove the one on the left and leave the one in the middle which i'm going to set to a center rest, but how can i make it balance on its left and right strokes? Is this possible to apply for a stock car or do I have to replace some parts like the mechanism motor of the wiper?

BTW my country does allow this kind of modification and my car is a 92 Mitsubishi lancer GTi. Can anyone out there tell me how to do it right? Thanks!

It may take a little bit of fabrication to get it done, but i do think you will be able to. Examine the stroke of the wiper motor and pick a position for the wiper trans, then cut the transfer link to the length you need. Make sure the wiper motor comes to the rest stop so it wont keep re-cycling. It wont be able to find the stop position if you do not somehow change the transfer to linear back and forth. The motor is set up for rotary drive and will keep cycling it if does not sense the wiper arm as stopped against the rest.

3. JC Says: If I understand this question correctly . You will need a chain or drive to wrap around the window frame or a synchronous motors and twin motor circuit. The "rest" is all in the "park circuit" built into the wiper motor. The rest is left to the linkage attached to the motor, I hope that helps some.
