They look very like early split screen VW van. Totally different to normal
Amphicar and wouldn't work very well - that type of blade is designed for a
flat screen. Someone did mention a while ago that they had seen a few
Amphicars with a different wiper system - which they thought might have been
original factory. Certainly wasn't on late cars, maybe on the very early
1961 cars that went to the States.
Tom I'd just change the arms and blades for normal Amphicar.
However the way the wipers work is one area on Amphicar I'd really like to
improve. However much you try the rod system never seems to work
effectively. There must be a more modern cable type system that could be
made to work. I've looked at a few but not found anything suitable yet as I
really don't want to enlarge the two holes where the wiper pivots come
through the body.
