Riv help

Anyone know where I can get a 65riv wiper motor new of have mine rebuilt?

I got it out already cant bring myself to put it back in not working....

 

Autozone, pepboys, Rielly's Funny huh. I get all my parts from autozone at about 1/3 what the "specialty" shops charge. Brake pads, wheel bearings, wheel cylinders all at less than 1/2.

 

Oh and I look it up to, Autozone has them.

 

we found one at advanced but once we got it...it was the wrong one. Ill try Autozone.

 

I think you are living my dream.....with your Econo being on the road, AND a riv.

 

The riv is eating me out of house and home. Parts are a bear. The little stuff kills me.


We should trade the pontiac fer da riv.

 

I'm sure it has a wide interchange, what's Rock Auto want for one? If they list it they should have a cross-reference showing all the other cars it fits.

 

So onlined searched Autozone, Checker, Pep Boys, Napa. Called opgi and Cars inc...




Anyone anyone... something something economics....

 

Think I found a used one...but with my luck Ill put it on and itll be dead in 3 weeks...

 

What...no more idears from the wise??? help a brother out...

 

O'Reilly said they could send it out to be rebuilt, but couldn't quote a price.

 

Is removing it an easy chore? You can have mine for a low price. as long as it is not going to be a multiple hour job! the reason i left it in there was because it looked like a bitch!

 

Well it shows up when I search it at autozone (but to be honest, I checked 64 not 65).
But here's Rancho Riviera, (AKA Mr Riviera) Larry. he could help you out I'm sure.

Last but not least, is Craigslist Inland empire, guy's selling Rivi parts from a parts car.

 

have you tried rock auto online yet?
sometimes they have some real oddball stuff.

 

No decent junk yards in L.A county anymore?
Very few in my neck-o-the woods either.

 

There is a Guy Called Larry, Rancho Riviera is his company name, He is in Riverside, I have used him loads for parts for my '63, he has large stocks of new and used parts. He has a good but old website, always answers e-mails... Hope this is of help. http://www.ranchoriviera.8m.com/

 

We need the dual speed motor, not the single speed, which seems to be harder to find. I have ordered several from more than one parts supplier, and always get the wrong one delivered. I even tried taking it to two auto electric / motor rebuilders here locally, and they all politely declined to rebuild it.

As far as removing it goes, yes it is kind of a bitch to get to. It involves removing the hood and drivers side hood hinge. So on a nice black car, its not something that I want to be doing on a weekly basis.

I will contact Larry and see what he has. Thanks for the heads up guys.

 

absolutely a bitch... thanks though

 

I online searched...but did not call. Do you get a diff answer if you call?

 

I just checked my Hollander book and it says that 63-64 Buick, Olds, Pontiac and Cady 2 speed wipers will all work

 

Bitchen...we will check it out...thanks....

 

Okay. after some more hunting I found a place that will rebuild most electrical stuff.

www.jpintoweb.com

I will post up results. Said to send it to him and he should have it done in a few days.

 

said he was all out of working ones. found a rebuilder . thanks for the contact on this guy tho...sounds like he has a ton of stuff.

 

63-65 riviera parts from fellow long time enthusiast at fair prices, j mack 505-400-6126 or email needs by year, thanks, glad to help...

 

Reach Riviera Gene in Pa, he has EVERYTHING 610.359.8901 Best, John

 

Had the same problem with mine for years, 63-64 are different than 65 and it is year specific. I bought a parts car and got lucky and it had a good one in it. If you monitor ebay from time to time you can snag one I bought a few junk ones and then got the parts car. Rancho riviera would be your best bet. Theres a fellow outside of Dallas who has a pasture full of first gen Rivi's but I couldn't find his old website????

 

awesome thanks

 

had the motor rebuilt $300. been through 2 switches from used guys with no luck.

 

Look up Rancho Riviera and give them a call. They have everything you need for your Riv.
