Howdy, does anyone know where I can find suppliers of 1939 Ford V8 vacuum wiper speed controls? I would like to buy overhauled assemblies or NOS. Cheers, John

Thanks for your reply 37RAGTOPMAN, I'm referring to the control valve with an adjustment knob! However, my control valves have straight handles with knurled ends. Mine is a 1939 deluxe V8 (91A) with two wiper motors with dedicated controls to each (on/off switch with screw on knobs and speed control with knurled finger grips)! I don't know the part numbers. Cheers, John

HI 39UTE what about a picture of your downunder FORD, SURE alot of V8 GUYS would like to see your ride, the wiper motors were made by TRICO, I ASSUME it would be the same for export models, you could try to search on the web for a wiper motor service, one person is DAVID FICKEN , his wife and son are running the TRICO WIPER MOTOR SERVICE Business, and is in NEW YORK, they shold be able to help you, are you a FORD V8 member, if you were you would receive the V8 FORD TIMES,which has many advertisers for many different items. its a great read,well worth the money, my 3 cents worth,37RAGTOPMAN

Thanks again 37RAGTOPMAN; yes, I have tried Ficken and he can't help! No, I'm not a Ford V8 member but I am here in Australia! I have tried to attach some photos of my Ute but I'm not sureif I have done it right or not! If not, I can keep trying. I do know the wiper motors are Trico but I can't find any replacement parts anywhere. The vacuum control is all I need as I have two motors that I got from Ficken some time back! The old control valves I have would leak too much! Even if I could get them overhauled, would help!Cheers, John

Thanks Alan; it's a bit different to your pickups but that's the way they were here! Thanks for the info; I'm trying to contact Kent via email first. If that fails, I'll ring him. If I could get NOs vacuum control valves, I'd be more than happy but I'm not holding my breath! Cheers, john
