Title: 12v wiper motor
Post by: IowaTom on May 26, 2015, 06:58:25 AM

Is there such a thing?  Maybe an aftermarket set-up that has worked..?
If not, I would appreciate any ideas others have found for dropping the voltage with the factory motor.  Gracias!

We've been discussing this in private messages.

I got a 12v wiper motor from Newport Wipers, I dealt with a guy called Robert Galbraith.

My car is a 1953 Kaiser Deluxe.

The guy who is fixing my Kaiser up at the moment has made it it fit, and work, although he told me that it did not just "slot in" - he had to adjust the arms in some way to make the wiper motor do the right "sweep". I am collecting my car from the guy who did the work in the next few days, I will ask him what was involved in making the electric motor fit, and maybe take some photos of it in place.

Newport do not offer a ready-made "kit" for the Kaisers, except for the Henry J.
