Nick Nichols Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) I have a 1939 Plymouth P7 business coupe. The wiper arm for the original motor is very flimsy. The wiper motor has a stud with a hole in it and the wiper arm slides through that stud and then its pushed downward and locks into place. Problem is that it is SUPER flimsy. Is there an adapter kit that can change the stud into a later type fitting where the arm is pushed down into a slotted fitting? Below is my motor.

blucarsdn Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 It would appear that you have the earlier, pre-'39 style of wiper motor. My '39 P8 had a wiper motor that had the round grooved type of wiper arm attachment. The '36 Fords and earlier used that "wire/bale" type of wiper arm, they were the pits' You should consider converting your wiper to an electric unit.

blucarsdn Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 I would suggest that you go back to the comments I made to Noah on Monday about upgrading the wiper motor on his D100... Wm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
