I have a '36 Fordor Sedan. I want to purchase electric wiper motors for both driver and passenger side of the car. Can you help me to find a pair that I can install without cutting a hole in the header panel. I have looked at Mac's, All Ford Parts, C & G Parts, 3rd Generation, etc, without any luck. I will not cut a hole in my header panel. There must be someone or company that makes one without having to cut a hole in my header panel. Any ideas and help will be appreciated. Thank=you in advance.

If you try two separate motors, the wipers will hit each other, been there, tried that. I have been searching for a suitable electric motor for my '36 5 window. The clearance between the factory hole for the driver's side and the roof brace is 4 1/2 inches. I have searched for all kinds of wiper motors, all are too big. One would think that a KIA or Smart Car wiper motor would be smaller, but they are the same as the Jeep motor. I even looked at snow mobiles, they are too big as well. I even wrote to the maker of the Mighty Wiper, (not so mighty, the electric motor is tiny) and it won't power two blades. It will barely power one. I asked him to put a larger motor on his existing plastic gear motor, but that would probably tear up the plastic gears. I have also looked at the reverse solution, what about a stronger vacuum pump. I purchased one made for booster brakes and one of the small round black vacuum tanks, it still would not power my recently rebuild vacuum wiper motor. I checked and it does pull 18 inches of vacuum, but no luck. I even tried it on someone else's vacuum wiper motor with the assumption that mine was bad, it would not power the other one either. There is someone that sells a $500 kit, but it requires drilling 2 new holes and the cross bars that operate both wipers go behind where the original speaker is, and no room there for me. I'm still looking.

Newport Engineering makes a kit but its 12 volt only. Don't know how it will work in your Ford but I have a Newport unit in my '54 Ranch Wagon and it fit without any mods and works great. FWIW, I've never heard anything bad about their kits. https://newportwipers.com/product/1935-56-ford-car/#wiper-motor ______________ No signature

Did you read all of the answers in your other post on the same subject? https://www.earlyfordv8.org/forum/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=18&Topic=15353&keywords= Do you have a vacuum wiper motor for your car? Tom

Thanks for your response. No I get the vacuum from the carburetor base. I only have a driver side wiper. I would like to get an electric 6 volt motor for each side without having to cut a hole in my header panel.
