Several years ago there was someone rebuilding vacuum wipers and we got one done. I can't find their name now and have some questions on vacuum wiper rebuilding for an article for the Model A Times. Does anyone have a location that is doing restoration of Model A wipers?

Thanks,

John
 
Thanks Gerard, they look good, but it was someone else that I used before and was hoping to find them if they were still in business. But Fickens looks like a good source have you used them? If so were you pleased?
 
John,

Here are all the articles that have been printed on the Vacuum Wiper in Model A News and The Restorer.

Al Lepore did a great job on mine not long before he passed away, for $55. It works great. I hope his son is still doing them.
