For my Alpha system, I found a Class A motorhome. Motor is good, shafts were pretty close in length. They make them in 1/2" intervals? Not much room inside the header, excess length has to stick out the front, so try to find short ones. Note that I welded bolts to the levers, no room inside the header to get a wrench inside.
It took me several tries to get the 'idler arm' right. Geometry has to be spot on to get the correct travel of the wipers.
The key-hole things that lock the cable casing are picture hanging gizmos from Home Depot. "Bezels" are pieces of aluminum tube.
It will take some tinkering to get things to work inside the cramped header.
Hmmm, I wonder if moving the header back would make more rrom inside for more options?
I moved the whole back of the cab back 8", maybe I wouldn't feel like I was going to bump my forehead on the header? ;)
