Like these? http://www.marineparts.com/MEGAYACHTS/SPEICH/speich1.htm

 

The new range "SPEICH NAUTIC" of windscreen wipers for small and medium size boats, is designed to prepare a custom made wiper during installation.

The motor unit, available for 12Vdc and 24Vdc, has two speeds, self-parking device and variable wiping angle.

Pendulum and pantograph type arms, completely made of stainless steel type AISI316, are available with easily adjustable length (from 280 to 550 mm).

Blades are available in five measures.

A number of accessories complete the wiper system.

If you are anywhere near Bolton I have a small unit

I believe it is off a motorway camera for cleaning the glass cover.

 

You can have it with pleasure.

[John Orentas]

Richard.

No John it was a question not a joke.

it always does though and it is a pain.

[DHutch]

well, it doesnt often get onto the inside of the windows, and when it does im on the inside, so its not a probem

 

- thanks for testing it glen, shame its 12v, but i think it would be lot easyer to buy one thats 24 rather then messing about with DC-DC converts just for the window wiper!

You dont need a DC to dc converter just a volt dropper. Ie for 24 to 12 v wire two similarly sized resistors in series and then take your 12v feed from across one of the two resistors

sorry that should read potential divider not volt dropper

speed cameras?

if we remove camera wipers does that mean the pictures will be fuzzy and inadmissable in the court?
