Re: windshield wiper motor

Kenn,
There is not much to it, the aluminum casting is bare and the motor shell, bolts, rectangular cover, bushing cups, and motion arm are clear zinc plated. I assume the wiper is functional but that is covered in the repair manual and on Wilcox web site if not. Washer pieces are jobber available for repair.

The major issue with motor non function can be tied to the temp over ride points having oxidized. It is mounted in the base of the motor can. All bead blasting/polishing, disassembly, assembly, can be self done but sending out pieces for plating requires a metal plater. But even that could be done with an Eastwood kit.
