Default Electric Windshield Wiper Motor Needed

I have a ’36 5 window with dual wiper blades on it. The car is 12 volt and not judged. I had the vacuum wiper motor rebuild. It works great til I put the wiper blades on. I checked the vacuum 15 inches. I put RainX on the windows. I know it works great for everyone else, but I could not tell the difference between where I put it on and where I didn’t, and I could hardly see through the drops.

I tried the little electric motor from Drake, $65. It says right on it, “Not for Dual Wipers” and it has a VERY tiny motor. There should be a way to substitute a bigger motor for it that will adapt to the spiral drive.

There has to be some workable substitute besides a string. Anyone figured out a solution? I have looked at the 12v used for the CJ5 Jeep, I would have to cut a hole in the windshield hinge cover. Not completely opposed to that but wanted to see what others have done before I do that.

Yes, I know, Don’t Drive in the Rain.
