Tomcat Windshield Wiper Part Number

Westie

Does anyone know the part number for standard windshield wipers on a Tomcat?

I think it AFI 37100 which is an 80 degree sweep. The AFI 37200 is 110 degrees.

I want to get this on order ASAP and didnt check the sweep radius.

I replaced both motors on Journey On, described here: C-25 wipers. Since the windows are the same it should be applicable to a Tomcat. I used Marinco AFI 1000 Wiper Motor with a 1.5" shaft, P/N 36181 wipers. I didn't retail the pantograph and it's worked well. Those motors cost ~$90 last year.

The prices seem to have really increased.

I'm wondering if I could reuse my Pantographic Arm. Any thoughts?

Boris - Can you explain your comment in the linked post "Ground a slot down the side and removed the arm"?

what tool did you use?

I tried to replace my AFI motor yesterday and could not get that off!

That comment just means I couldn't pull or work it off so I took the die grinder and ground the side of the arm off. Once there was some of the arm attachment ground off I just pulled it off. One doesn't have to destroy the spline on the motor shaft, just get down to it. The arm head is pot-metal, which explains the problem.

Don't forget to protect the gel coat surface whilst you're grinding away.

The replacement wiper motors swing angle could be set to a variety of angles between 40 deg up to 90 deg.

Of course if you have to destroy the arm to get it off, you'll need new one. In retrospect, I think that's why I ordered the arm and the motor at the same time - just in case.
