wipers need plumbing

My duece didn't have any plumbing for the wipers except a piece of copper tubing coming out of the dash.

I have just ordered some new motors and the wiper upgrades but I'm not 100% sure how to plumb the wipers.

I don't have to go 100% original. I have read several threads regarding adding a valve before wiper #2 to control it better etc. I am aware of adding a service loop before the copper corner tubing so the windshield can fold down. I'm not sure about the length of the hose from wiper one to wiper two...etc.

Can someone offer some suggestions (pictures would be better) for the best/better way to plumb up your wipers. Yes I do use Rain-X already but I need working wipers for my DMV driving test this month. :wink:

Electric wipers rock...but since I ain't got them, I gotta stick with the air ones.

some hose on the exhaust that runs along the top of the windsheld frame and then under the canvas top to the out side will make keep the noise down .

Thanks Will...I knew I could count on you to help me out on this one. Is that just 1/4" fuel line? Also, do I have to hang an air guage on my wiper motor as well? :p

Nah, just the 1/4 tubing. Drive that bad boy to Fontucky. We'll hook them up out there!
