My vacuum motor has died and cannot be rebuilt according to the Trico expert. There is a NOS one on eBay for $400.00. I’ve been seriously considering going with an electric motor but all the vendors are currently out of stock and I’ve read on here if you put an electric motor in you cannot open the windshield which I really like doing.
Although I don’t plan on driving in the rain a lot, would you guys recommend springing for the vacuum one on eBay which is guaranteed to work or go with and electric? And if electric is the choice, have folks had good luck with a specific vendor?
Any and all input is greatly appreciated.
