Thanks so much for the suggestions.  I will try oiling the felt, and if that doesn't work I will send it to have it reconditioned professionally.

General Discussion / Windshield wiper motor replacement on 48 Frazer Manhattan

« on: December 22, 2010, 03:50:44 PM »

Hello:

The 1948 Frazer Manhattan I inherited from my grandfather (the original owner) is almost roadworthy now, so I am finally getting around to the windshield wipers.  The car has the original vacuum-driven wiper motor, but it does not work at all (even after connecting it up directly to the carburetor).  So I am looking for a replacement, so far unsuccessfully.  What do others do when these units give out?  Is there an electric replacement that anyone can recommend?

Thanks,
Arne
