I've read that the tri-5 chevrolet wiper motors will work but they are expensive, anybody know of any other motor that will work?
G'day mate one of the other members on here is working on a 55/56 ford wagon,He's used 4runner 4wdrive electric motor. 4t6ford is his user name and he's got some good pic's in his albums. I hope that helps and i hope i got his name right.
KSK , G'day cobber ! you got the name right . If anyone here needs more pics of the wiper setup pm me and I'll email more.
Earlier thread on wipers, maybe it will help: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/group.php?do=discuss&group=&discussionid=3830
You really can't beat the New Port Engineering Kits. Maybe a little more expensive, but they fit and work if you have 12 volt.
I pretty much have to agree with Paul, I put one in a 54 and to date it was the easiest install I've done. About $220. with the switch extension. Joe
I put a newport in my father inlaws 55 and it wouldn't move on low speed and stop where ever you turned off the switch. We sent it back they sent us a new. Nice people to deal with.
