Has anybody made a unusual vacuum wiper reservoir? I was thinking about using an old fire extinguisher.
Old retired fart living in Ione, WA. I have a 1964 CJ3B. Recently overhauled original motor, transmission and overdrive. 11" Bronco drum brakes on all 4. Needs a new coat of paint but that will have to wait till next summer, it's next summer and I'm working on that now :) UPS & FEDEX will continue to profit :)

Or a power brake vac canister w/ its ck valve already on it. Just plate off the master cyl hole. The hardest part is finding a mounting location. Any of those systems cause erratic fuel mixtures especially while idling. Emission readings are very unsteady. Depends the amount of rainy driving you plan. Electric is a steady speed swipe and From my experience a lot safer when climbing a long hill and having to spend a few seconds at a time w/o any vision running vac wiper/s. David

if any of the stories i have heard are true, than large soup cans/ juicy juice cans work good.

i have never done it myself but it sounds good, even some of the factory ford vac canisters looked like a soup can.

most all the new ones are plastic and would really taint the looks under a 3b.

53 3b, early cj5 frame (hurricane),2.43 ratio t case 26 tooth with 1 1/4" case (my own creation), late 60's c5 ross steering box, all range od, parts from a welder generator, and parts from about 9 different jeeps and counting. my every last penny and ounce of patients creates what we call the FrAnken B, the jeep that never was

Motiv8 mentioned a check valve, is that necessary for a wiper reservoir? Can anyone verify a better operation with a reservoir?

The check valve is needed to keep the vacuum created be the eng. The vac would be lost w/o that valve. David
