P1800 Headlamp wiper -Help please
Hi All
I am new to this forum, so please excuse me if I ask a daft question. I am looking for information about the rotating headlamp wipers fitted to some P1800s. I have seen a picture of them on a car at this web site Does any one have any details of these? May be a section from a Volvo manual or parts book? How do they operate? are they direct motors or driven by a cable system? If any one has a complete set, NOS, used, broken or parts I would be very interested. Or even some pointers on were to look for a set. I am not sure, but they may have been an option or fitted in just one country. They may also have been fitted to other Volvos. As I said, any and all help is most welcome. Thanks in advance for reading and any and all help regards Neil |

They came as a kit, headlights with the stud bonded to them, the drive motor and the 2 cables, there was a bag for washer fluid and a washer pump and a load of wiring. Every now and then you do see a kit appear.
They can be fitted to 140, 120 and 1800. Someone on here did have a kit, but they lacked the headlights and without the bonded stud the kit would need some engineering to make it functional. |

I spent some tme looking at the mechanism , it had a drive similar to a speedo cable which I presume went back to the drive motor Peter mentioned. It looked kinda neat which in practise wouldnt be used a lot Russ |

Hi Neil,
welcome to the forum and Happy New Year. I recognice these from a pair which my dad had laying around in the early 80'ies which he had intended to fit to his 544. We also had a 144 GL -74 which had original wipers fitted and as far as I know those that you show above were an option on the 164 and 140 series prior to '74 when a more integrated solution was available. n.b. this is based on Denmark/Scandinavia in the early days where headlamp washers/wipers became a regulatory requirement if I remember correctly. I have never seen any of these since then but would suggest you try to frequent www.tradera.com which is a Swedish equivalent to ebay (hope you can manage a bit of our Scandihooligan.. ;-) ) http://www.tradera.com/amazon-c3_302...modeOverride=1 John |
