VIN 11596 Frame Swap - a rolling frame-off restoration

Yes, silicone blades. I mentioned it eariler.

Do they chatter in both directions or just one? If it is just one, then the arms need to be bent a bit to change the angle of the blade on the glass. If it is both, well, I suppose different blades is the only thing to try.

When they do chatter, it's both directions. As Timeless says, I will switch to PIAA silicone blades next time I swap out but so far the Bosch Microedge seem to be a good choice. On my Kentucky trip I did get caught in rain a couple times and I don't recall having any chattering but I'm also in the habit of using the wipers as little as possible and instead relying on Rain-X to do the heavy lifting.

This week I was surprised to see NOS cross gate cables available from DMCH. I remember looking for one two or three years ago and they were NLA, with the only option being another used one or the DeLorean Go cable that has a bad reputation for snapping the end off. My cable is working well but has some outer jacket damage near the transaxle which will eventually be a problem if enough dirt or moisture gets inside. I was going to heatshrink the cable jacket next time I'm under the car but then I found the cable is once again available so grabbed one. It came yesterday and sure enough, it's NOS and not a reproduction. Not sure when I'll get around to installing it because I've been pretty busy with work and family and not a lot of garage time. But when I do install it, I will first heatshrink the ends where the jacket goes into the metal tubes for extra reinforcement.

There's a guy in the Delorean community that sells a really high quality cross gate cable (his name escapes me) they are expensive though.
I am still running my D-go cable. Hoping to not have issues with it.

That's Ben Ferguson, he makes them for LS swaps but can also make UN1 cables. I'm sure they are high quality but 4 to 5 times the price, and OEM cables don't seem to be a problem area unless the jacket gets damaged (common). Lots of reports of D-Go cables failing where the end snaps off.

Yeah that's the guy.
I was going to buy one off him but when he told me how much I changed my mind.
