Default Wiper Motor Restored

Just got back my wiper motor for the car today from being restored. Also order a bunch of odds and ends I need to finish the car. Might as well have them here so when I get back to the car I will have them.

Wish mine would have been salvagable. Yours looks sweet.

Ray, I am sold! That wiper motor/ washer pump assembly looks absolutely awsome!

I am going to send Steve my original wiper motor/ washer pump assembly to rebuild and replate.

I know the original washer pumps work. I have heard of so many people having problems with the reproduction washer pumps not working. The reason I mention this is because I rebuilt the motor and it looks and works good now, but I could not figure out how to make the pump look good also. So I did a big NO NO and bought the shiney new repro part, boy what a mistake. The original pump cover won't fit on the repro pump, and the cover that came with the repro pump has a flat finish from the injection mold tooling not being fully smoothed out.

Have you found a good source for the wiper motor decal yet?

Did he provide you with your wiper motor's original decal (to glue back on)?

or.... did he supply you with a decal that would be a correct reproduction for your application and build date?

It is always nice to know what to expect from a vendor before hand.

Cool, Thanks Ray for the help!
