After seeing hundreds of posts on various automotive forums looking for a rotary switch that will control a late model windshield wiper motor, I decided to tackle the problem. There are great companies selling complete kits for hundreds of dollars, and that might be a viable solution for some, but I enjoy working on projects, finding solutions and saving money all at the same time.
Background: Many people want to put a late model delay wiper system in their vintage vehicle, but for most this has meant buying a kit for more than $300.oo. It's widely known that the source of the wiper motor in the kit's available from vendors is from late model GM passenger cars. What has eluded many hobbyists is how to control the motor. The wiper motor has the ability to provide a Mist setting, 4 different Delay settings as well as a Low and High speed setting. Most people that install the wiper motor in their cars are stuck with only having high and low speed because no one sells a rotary switch with the required properties to allow the delay function to operate - until now.
Here is a link to the website I built that will show you the switch, its functions (with a video) and how to order one. I also have a page that tells you what make/model cars you can get your own wiper motor from. I don't sell the wiper motor, just the switch. https://sites.google.com/site/huntersswitch/

You'll have to source the wiper motor, as well as install it, but given the talents of most guys on this forum and the fact that if you're working on an older car, you can probably pull it off lol.
This is something I came up with because I have a 68 Camaro and wanted modern wipers, but didn't want to fork over the money that some of the vendors want, plus I like to figure stuff out on my own. If anyone's interested, you can PM me, or just use the email link in the webpage. I take checks and PayPal.
I'm not a vendor, I don't have employees and I came up with this cause I like to tackle this kind of work. I'm on protouring.com a lot and posted the evolution of this switch over there, and now sell them on that website in the classified section. After seeing some of the projects folks are working on this forum, I thought I'd see if there was any interest here.
