New Port Wiper System with Stock Switch and/or ToddZ intermittent wiper mod

[duffymahoney]

you can drive this in the rain? Huh.

I try to not drive mine in the rain, the hardtop doesn't go on anymore.

I don't remember doing anything fancy, seems to work fine. My memory sucks!

So you built your own?

My investigation showed this was only needed if you’re using the Ford OEM intermittent wiper setup with the Newport hardware. I asked Newport to leave the feedback wire on their as-built system with the coast-to-park motor, but the OEM wiper box pulse was too short to unpark the motor with a single pulse.

I think you said you’re using a three speed switch in a post or maybe in PMs? That would be a difference in our setups if so.

I also 3d printed some plugs to close out the two open ends, attached with VHB tape.

Could you share the end file?

Sure thing, pretty sure I can find them, standy by.

This actually made me laugh. I spent 600 dolalrs for my newport set up switch and parts and realized after I read this that I will probably never drive it in the rain!

Lol! For me, honestly it wasn’t about having wipers, it was more about getting rid of the rather bulky OEM wiper setup and also better visors than the OEM….

Pretty much burned 1k between the Newport wipers and Rosen visors, but nothing about EBs is logic, its more emotion.

Sorry for long time, holidays and life slowed me down. Here's three formats: Inventor (where part originated), STEP, and STL. Hopefully one format works for you.

I needed to rename the files to get them to upload, swap the .zip extensions with the caps letters in the name to get the formats tagged correctly.

For example, rename bronco_windshieldSTP.zip to bronco_windshield.stp

We mirrored the part to get the other side.

Let me know if these don't work and we'll find another way to get them to you.

Files don't seem to work, maybe email them to me? duffymahoney@hotmail.com

your files work fine, but just might not be clear to everyone that you need to remove the ZIP and change the file extension to the CAPS you wrote on each (IPL/STL/STP).

Please post a finished pic of the whole setup when you can. I don't think I'm gonna put wipers in, but I might decide to at some point.

Yeah, was worried that might be confusing, added some text to the post to make it more clear, thanks.

Will do on pics.

Thanks for feedback @duffymahoney, I'll do some more reading, may buy the wipers and sort it out. Can't be too hard.

Sorry for ressurecting an old thread but do you know if the stock wiper knob will fit the stem of the Newport switch?

I have had the stock knob and a billet knob, both worked.

Which switch though?

Gosh my memory sucks, I literally can't remember.

Was it the massive box with pig tail? Newport support said that’s the only one that would work and it required an adapter

Does this help?
