The Ford Barn

I have what I believe is an RCX-1 wiper motor on my 30 Model A Coupe. The wiper motor has a two screw front cover. I need a new spring that goes under the front cover and connects the reversing lever to the yoke that slides into the main shaft groove and operates the reversing and exhaust. Have been unable to find anyone to repair the motor, so I have to do it myself. Ficken won't repair it. I have several other unsuccessful e-mails out based on forum discussions, but no responses. Does anyone have the one inch spring with a loop on each end laying around that they will part with? Thanks in advance.

It's the one Bill Cilker has pictured. The one Gary has pictured looks like a replacement and may be too fat to keep from rubbing on the cover. Anyone have one like Bill's picture that is available please e-mail me. Thanks!

Bill has identified my wiper motor as a TR-C1A, not the RCX-1 I said it was. I got my original identification from a picture on a forum.
