Wiper Motor Resto.

[Big John]

I just got my wipermotor back from Jules Daddio. http://www.julesdaddio.com/services.html

The pic doesn't do this justice. This thing is beautiful.

He does nice work! He did mine also.

Dang, thats looks awesome! Jules does nice work and when I've spoken with him he was a real nice guy.

 

[John69RR]

WOW! I've heard about his work, but have never seen the results that close before.

He really is a nice guy. I had many conversations with him when I was beginning to convert to a 3 speed. He answered all my questions and didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need. I just couldn't afford for him to do the restoration. Very nice work though.


:cheers:

How do you get the old wiper motor out? I've tried and haven't figured it out yet. Do I have to take it out from inside the car under the dash?

 

[Big John]

You have to get under the dash and disconnect the clip. Then slide the arms off. Unbolt and disconnect the wiring and you're good to go.

 

[dobie]

It's rather easy to take it out. The fun part is crawling back up under the dash to get the clip back on!! :jester:

I've found that pulling the ash tray and radio gives fairly good access.

I'm gonna have to change the one in my Scamp soon. Unfortunately it's an A/C car and there is almost ZERO access. The only way to the bolts is if I remove the glove box liner and for some reason thats a huge pet peeve. I HATE taking that freaking thing in and out! :brickwall:

I'm half tempted to buy one of the parts store 3 speed wiper motors for my RR and attempt to refinish it like an original. The ones you get at Rock Auto look similar to the originals, but they're refurbished and painted all black. I've restored enough antique fans to mimic the finish of an original motor I think. I'd like to get an Air Grabber air cleaner and am going to need a motor. I was SOOO close to winning that all chrome A/G cleaner on ebay last week!
