The other option is a lucas system with a remote wiper motor and cable drive ( new ones are sold by car builder solutions and alike) used ones from BMC British leyland range from the 60's on. They now do an adaptor relay to suit the motor with other switches.

Any beetle wiper set up will be worn in the extreme... spindles will rock in the supports, motor bearings etc. Had them into component bits often. All the parts worn and the tiny c clips on both wiper shafts will have long ago disintegrated. (These bits all available from heritage but at a cost). Not saying it won`t operate after a fashion but the lucas option is the sensible way to go and the Bowden cable can be cut to your exact length. Cb solutions have retractable wiper arms that adjust to the length to suit screen size).

just saying ;-)up ;-)up
