Title: Wiper arm shield installation - San Jose Car
Post by: Kingchief on May 03, 2021, 06:34:00 PM: I have been cleaning things up under my dash [installing an original speaker, new leather gasket of wiper arms] and noticed that there was no wiper arm shield installed during the 2011 restoration. Figured I would try to put one of the repops in. So, there are 2 holes. One is for the screw as shown in another post on this site but where does the other hole attach to??? I cannot seem to find any pictures or illustrations of where it goes! Any help would be appreciated. If it is too hard without pulling the wires please just say so. I have cleaned up all the wiper assembly [motor and arms] as this was not done originally in 2011.

Thanks for the help. If this needs to be moved to another area of the forum please let me know. I LOVE pictures!

Steve

Thanks again,

Picture taken through the drivers side dash opening with the gauges removed on a 65 San Jose example but will be the same as 66. Looks almost brand new after all these decades

Post by: jwc66k on May 05, 2021, 08:18:07 PM: The pictures looks very close to the drawing in the electrical manual. The wiring differences between your Shelby and my Oct 65 build, 66 GT K Fastback are minimal. What comes to mind is the tachometer wiring routing. If you haven't done so, I strongly recommend you get a set of 66 Mustang Assembly Manuals. Include the 64-65 Chassis and 64-65 Weld and Sealant manuals as well.
