    I just bought a rebuilt vacuum wiper motor for my 60 3B. I purchased a new arm and blade from Kaiser Willys Auto Supply in South Carolina. No hardware came with the purchase and I Know alot of old timers are going to laugh but I am clueless to what to do next.I have no idea how to attach one to the other and what mounting screws or spacers I need to mount the motor to the jeep. All pictures,step by step instructions are appreciated.

    "Man", you guy's are as handy as a knob on an outhouse door. I'm not so worried about tackling my 3a's restoration with the kind of help you guy's can provide.

    Carefully diassemble your vacuum wiper motors and clean out the old grease, lube with vaseline and reassamble, careful with the paper gaskets, they are made from unobtainum. Mine were slow to operate at idle, man it sure helps to lube them up.

    You'll need two small bushings for mounting each motor, use them between the windshield frame and mounting bracket to hold motor back from the frame. I can take pics of my setup if you need more help.

    Check Mr. Binky's web page;

    Thanks Jeeper 50, that web page really helped. I was missing the nut that goes on the end of the wiper but I found a guy that had a couple out of Indiana. Everything else fell in to place -- Thanks for the help

    I'm trying to find pics showing vacuum pump tube routing on the engine.
