| Post subject: | Wiper motors |
I sent the following email to New Port Engineering. They make replacement wiper motors for various vehicles, include early Chrysler products. They primarily cater to the Hot Rodder set. > I have a 1965 Dodge Dart with the single speed wipers. I have already > soldered the brass contacts within the dash switch to get them to work > reliably. They work fine for around town, but just can't keep up at > freeway speeds. I need an upgrade and there is always that nagging > feeling of "will they work today..." > > Do you plan, or have you thought about creating a package for this > vehicle? A kit would cover the years from 1963 to 1966 and handle the > Darts, Valiants and Barracudas. It would be nice if the kit contained a > set of bronze bushings to replace the OEM ones. But then, after 44 years > mine don't look that worn. > > Nobody else has an upgrade for these years and/or body styles. About the > only upgrade is to a OEM variable speed wiper motor with associated > parts, but then these are just as old as my current setup. > > Thank you for your time > > Kevin L. Esteb And received this reply: > Hi Kevin, > > Thanks for your interest in our products. We currently have nothing for > your application, however we will look into those cars. If you need > something right away, we can't help you, but we will look into this. > > Keep a look out for us in Rod & Custom, Street Scene, World of Rods > magazines,(just to name a few of those we advertise in) we will list > those when we have something for you. > > Once again, thanks very much for contacting us @ New Port Engineering. > > Sincerely yours, > > Linda @ New Port Engineering If others are interested in a modern 2 speed wiper motor with optional intermittent wipers, please email them. They may decide that there is enough interest and start development on a kit. Most of their kits are bolt-in using the OEM linkage and mounting points. Their web site is at: http://www.newportwipers.com I am not affiliated with this company in any way. I just noticed their ad in Street Rodder. |

Oops, not quite. The interchange is '64-'66 A-body. The '63 motors and their mounting angles and configurations are totally different. |
