Variable intermittent wipers

[flyology]

Does anyone know what model toyotas came with this option/feature, and if it is possible to adapt it to a 60 series cruiser? Or the whereabouts of a universal kit I can purchase for my 60 series? with the rain up here in the north it is a useful feature to have on a vehicle......


thanks,

MB

I seem to recall a jaycar kit being available - may be an easier option. There's not much to it - basically just a capacitor and a pot i think?

Yeah, I though they did one too, been looking in their cataloge but cant find it. Also did a search on ebay, but cant find anything....

if you have basic electronics skillz, you could build:

Dick Smith and Jaycar used to sell a couple of kits that were published in Silicon Chip, but I think the most recent one was about 1990. give that circuit a shot - print it and take it in to Jaycar and hopefully you'll find a helpful nerd. even if you have to buy a soldering iron, the whole lot shouldn't cost more than $60ish. you could build the whole thig on a breadboard 5x5 cm, put the variable resistor on wires and mount it on the dash, tuck the rest up behind the dash

Just the sort of thing I was after, thanks DD

hilux from 1989 - 1997 have variable speed may be adaptable.
I have both HJ60 & Hilux so I can check it out.

I thought the late model 60 series had variable speed wipers... It was definitely available on 75 and 40 series. (40 series has the switch on the dash)

mine is 84 and has it on the switch dosent seem to work though probably was $1000 option
