Model A vacuum wiper question

[reggiedog]

HI:

Does anyone know of anyone that replats the Model A Vacuum Wipers as I have one from a Late 31 Deluxe Tudor Sedan, and I have been told that they were originally chrome when new and I have been asking around and I can't find any one that wants to replat the Vacuum wiper for me.

So if anyone out there knows of a plater that will do them please let me know and I also need the original inside vacuum line replated so if anyone knows who does those please let me know. thanks Reggiedog

If I remember correctly the first step is to chemically remove the old chrome but this process dissolves the wiper body. The solution used to be to get a painted wiper off of a standard vehicle and have it plated. Good luck.

Reggie, are you sure the original was chrome plated? The MACFA website doesn't mention that...

I've read the vacuum wiper motors on Deluxe Roadsters and Phaetons were chrome plated.
