Hello All,

Have come across Summit Racing 12v direct replacement Electric Wiper motors and am wondering if any of you have had a chance to vet them out?

Thanks in advance,

Newport engineering has a great track record for making wiper motors that fit without issues and are reliable. https://newportwipers.com/product/19...=1#wiper-motor

But then 50 dollars is 50 dollars.

Thank you mr48chev!

Will give Newport Engineering a look see, American made is always worth a few more dollars spent!

FWIW, a reviews on the Summit website said it wouldn't fit a GMC of that year and they returned it.

I have the New Port on my '49 and it works well. Instructions were good too, IIRC

My only complaint was the switch on the New Port. A factory knob doesn't fit it very well and it takes some fiddling to get it to work

Just my opinion, I love the vacuum wipers! I rebuilt mine with an NOS kit years ago. I literally couldn't leave it wide open as they went too fast. LOL

If you oil the flaps inside they will work much better.
