Vacuum wiper interchange with a P18

[Thomba48]

It must look like to you all as I am building a  new car from scratch? Or did I make  a very bad purchase in the first place?. I leave that decision to you, but I give you hint. The latter question sounds more true to me ?

 

Any idea what vacuum wiper motors from which car would interchange with the actual need for my P18? Reason for asking? I haven't spotted a decent one for a P18 model, but there are quite a few available for thte P15 model.

 

 thanks

Thomba48,

   Boy, can I relate to that sentiment!!! Our current car is a semi-exception, tho’. The vacuum wiper motor didn’t work too well, and I couldn’t find a replacement. My neighbor had his rebuilt, and it works, but above 50 mph, it doesn’t. We can’t figure out why, either. So, I’m going to try to rebuild ours myself. If it doesn’t work, well, I’ll be no worse off than I was before I began this exercise. My “plan B” is to purchase a 6v electric motor from Mac’s, and fabricate the mountings myself. So, one way or another, I’ll get it accomplished. Best regards . . . .

Thanks. Wiper motor for the P15 model are actually easy to find. Not the case for the 1949 Plymouth. Is probably a market relevance matter.

Thomba48,

   Kinda true—I found a few vacuum wiper motors that would fit a ’46 Plymouth, but none of them worked. Since I already had one of those, I couldn’t rationalize why I’d need another one. Regards.
