Don Brakspear in Wokingham is (or used to be) the man for Vacuum wipers. I don't know whether he still does them.......
He's just done one for me. Now, where's that eBay advert for a miniature electric vacuum pump?
The two miniature vacuum pumps I tried from eBay were useless and sent back as faulty. Finally, I fitted (under the seat) a rather-too-large pump intended for brake boosting on a modern. It's 12-volt but runs happily on 6 and, on the balls-out setting, the wiper works perfectly. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403706456901 Much the same thing is available from scrap yards of course.
