Yeah, but... 120-130

Shayne;

I thought I recalled seeing both in 122s! Of course, it may have been due to a later swap, but it does prove the bracket differences between 1800 and 122 can be worked out.

I dont actually think either system has any particular inherent weaknesses other than wear induced slop after they've made about a million or so
wipes...and can you blame them at that point? I have noticed that the double "D" shaped shaft of the cable type going into the pulley overpowers the matching hole in the pulley and develops a fair amount of slop...this is in-fact the situation on my '66 1800...this does seem to be a weak link (but may just be were they gave way when the wipers were turned on with ice-locked blades at some point). I plan to have the shaft (carefully) TIG welded onto the pulley (instead of replacing the whole mechanism) whenever I get to
removing the assembly...and as you know, I'll be putting that off for as long as I can!!!...in fact, that is one reason I came up with the intermittent wiper controls for the different vehicles...I figure I want to do whatever I can to further minimize the rate at which the wiper system mechanics wear.

Cheers,
