Default 29 Coupe Electric Wiper Mounting

Hello
Working to install a OD-O3 electric wiper on my 29 Coupe.

My Dad did not take pictures of the car before disassembly but had a Vacuum motor in his parts boxes which I have determined to be the incorrect motor by reviewing the MAFCA Model A PDF. It shows electric motors in 1929.

My question is can anyone point me to some photos of the wiper mounted on the car? It appears it is mounted inside but I want to be sure.

Thanks as always for the expertise here.

Mike

The closed car wipers were mounted outside where they were generally shielded by the sun visor. The open car wipers were generally mounted on the inside.

The model number gives a good clue to what you have on the Owen Dineto types. The prefix OD is the manufacturer. A C3 is a closed car wiper. The O3 is an open car wiper.

It would be easy to sell or trade a wiper that is not correct for your car. They sill show up in restorable condition and Model A collectors tend to hoard these little units.
