Does anyone know of an electric wiper motor that will fit in the header of a '35 pickup?

I am aware of the Newport Engineering solution but I don't want to have to cut the header so I'm looking for a single wiper motor that will fit.

Thanks,
Heard

I used a raingear in a '32 ok. 12 volt tho and uses a 1 amp fuse- easy to pop, so need easy access to that. Newc

I used a mighty wiper in my 37, fit fine, but your 35 might be tighter

Yes, I've looked at the Mighty Wipers. It is difficult to measure the available space but I don't think it will fit. 12 volt is what I'm looking for.

Maybe go to your local Pick-N-Pull and look at the rear window wipers from the small SUVs.

That's what I did years ago, got a rear wiper motor outta a jap hatchback, think it was a ford laser, it has 120 degree sweep, fits nicely behind the header panel of my 35 sedan.

Good ideas! I would think a motor for a boat or golf cart etc. might work also. Been looking at those on line ,but again, it is hard to tell from the measurements whether or not it will wok. Junkyard might be my best bet.
