I used the Wild Horses individual motor kit on mine. Works pretty good if your not to particular about having synchronized wipers. I believe they now sell a kit that enables you to keep them synchronized but adds a lot to the cost. Not sure about the BC kit but I think the standard wiper motor needs to be lowered to work with a soft top.

Bc bronco's set up comes with a drop bracket so you can use with a soft top.
It is a stock system with correct spacing for the early windshield frame.

I'm looking at doing the same. Carmi, did you have to file the original 66 frame holes to widen them to allow the WH kit to fit through? Also, did it cover the original wiper bracket holes?

So if the motors are unsynchronized will the blades hit each other?
And will the Wild horse kit use the stock wiper arms?

The blades will not hit. The 66 has/had vacuum motors. The AFI Marine motors simply ho in their place. I soldered in a general purpose diode from radio shack so that they will park together. I like them un synchronized because they remind me of my old vacuum units but reliable.

Will the W. H. motors work with the stock wiper arms?



Will the W.H. motors still have room for the sun visors?

1966 model with vacuum wipers and stock sun visors.
