It appears that the Province of Ontario still only requires seat belt use where seat belts were origionally provided in the vehicle.
I really thought they would just mandate the use of seatbelts (period), and not consider any of the excemptions as they origionally appeared to be doing ...
*******
Note: On a day to be named by proclamation of the Lieutenant Governor, section 106 is repealed by the Statutes of Ontario, 2006, chapter 25, section 1 and the following substituted:

I found this very helpfull when I was struggling to get the origional vacuum wipers on my 54 Caddy working properly ...
Very simple discription with pictures and trouble shooting advise that seems to be similar to different early wiper systems ...
It helped me ... since very little information is available on early Cadillac wipers, other than if you have a problem ... send it to 'XXXXX' to have the motor rebuilt ...
In my particular case ... it was mainly adjusting the control linkage, cleaning and lubricating, and replacing a small piece of leather for the parking position on the motor ... a very easy fix ... working GREAT again ... :-)

Just asking for your opinion on requiring seat belts to be installed in ALL cars?
Has this been an issue in your own state or province?
The goverment of Ontario has proposed "One Person, One Seatbelt Legislation", probably removing the exception for cars made prior to the use of seatbelts :-(

After just replacing the interior on my car (1954 Cadillac), it seems that I would have to tear down the front seat to be able to attach a lap belt alone ... :-(
I'm sure other antique cars would be equally as difficult to retrofit seat belts, as well as origionality and cosmetic issues ... :-(
From the local news, it seems that the reason for removing the exceptions was to prevent more people crowded into a vehicle than there are seat belts installed. (ie: A major local accident with 10 people in a mini van with only 7 seat belts installed)

Is there an alternative when replacing a front window motors for a 1954 Caddy? Not much luck with rebuilding the motors in my area (Canada) I was hoping there may be something newer to exchange or aftermarket rather than replacing with another 50+ year old electric motor, or trying to fix the ones I have :-(
Any suggestions would be appreciated ...

Looking for any leads for an early Detroit, Milburn, Baker, etc. either car or small comercial vehicle probably in rough shape, barn fresh or abandoned for a project vehicle. I know they are not cheap, but obviously looking for something fairly reasonable ($$$$) to spend some time to restore. Maybe something you picked up that you haven't managed to get around to or a work in progress, by either yourself, or maybe someone you know ...
