I just heard from the "Wiperman" that there are no parts available for my 1942 series 67 wiper rebuild.  He suggested converting to electric but said no one does 6 volt conversions and I have been keeping my car stock. Is this so or does anybody have a reference to someone who can do this conversion?  If I have to convert does anybody have any experience with a reliable 6 volt to 12 volt transformer and possibly vacuum/electromatic switches so I can use the correct pneumatic switch

Their systems are 12 volts but they sell a 12 to 6 volt converter.
