Hi, I just joined and was wondering if anyone knows where to get wiper tower parts.I know they repop the towers, but can't find who makes the parts.I need the bottom chain wheel.I destroyed one white metal wheel already.Are the repops any better quality for the wheels etc?I bought a repop bumber and it's crap sheet metal. Thanks Ted

Ted,

I have been watching this post because I have the same problem on my '37, I am assuming that our cars are the same. I have one good chain wheel and two damaged ones. If I can't find the part, I am going to epoxy the chain on the damaged wheel.

I used to make some of those for David Ficken, out east.
David has passed on but his son still runs the business.
You should be able to find him in Hemmings or Old cars.

Thanks, I didn't know of the name change.
I will have to see if I have some of the lower chain drive parts.
It is surprising that the lower chain wheel breaks more often than the small upper one.
