Title: Wiper motor
Post by: David Rainville on March 16, 2007, 02:34:09 AM
I have a 31 roadster and the vacuum routing to the windshield motor goes through the moveable windshield post,which includes a couple of tubes that are near impossible to seal. Does anyone make a conversion to electric that retains the vacuum motor case so that it still looks original?

Dear David, just don?t know if they do conversions, but the only one I heard of for wipers is

If not, search in monthly Hemmings Motor news. While restoring, this publication is highly recommandable!

Thanks for the info, I've checked Hemmings to no avail. I'm now thinking of having the vacuum motor rebuilt and installing a valve in the vacuum line under the dash so that I can eliminate any air leakage when wipers are not needed.
