options to remove factory wiper motor and retain functionality? Smooth firewall.....

[gnx7]

I'm planning on running the new Wilwood brake/clutch pedal box setup which removes the master cylinder from the firewall and puts it under the dash with individual masters for each and a balance bar for the brakes.

That leaves me with the fugly factory wiper motor on the firewall. How can I remove that system and upgrade it to something more stealthy that isn't as bulky or even located on the firewall?

Any/all ideas are welcome! I would like to retain the factory the wiper functionality. 1969 Chevelle

They don't have one for a Chevelle but I'm sure you can make it work.
Worth a shot!

Where do you plan on putting the remote cylinders?

Thanks for that wiper option!

If they don't fit under the steering column one can mount the reservoirs remotely via braided steel lines; however the master cylinders themselves must be by the pedals.

This is my old race car that runs a Tilton pedal box ($$$) with the reservoirs mounted on the dash for easy access. The entire chassis was powdercoated inside/out. Mazda RX-7 with 438ci LS7, GForce GSR dogbox, 8.8" IRS rear, 2400lbs.

Try searching for windshield wiper remote drive systems. There are a couple out there.

Some buildiers here have used this one by speciality Power Systems.

This one is a cable drive system and it allows you to hide the drive motor under the dash or in the kick panel area.

Um can we see some more pictures of the Mazda?? You can just show that one picture and that's all

you can also make an extension rod and put your stock motor further into the drivers side.

Thanks Vince and everyone else.

That is the last thing I need to tackle; however since I want to run the brake/clutch reservoirs under the dash with a Tilton/Wilwood pedal assembly I may as well try to hide the wiper motor as well!
