    Anyone know where you can get parts for the vacuum wiper motors? I need a set of gaskets and nothing else. Walks and Northstar Willys sell complete motors, but I am reluctant to pay 65 -100 bucks for a motor when all I need is 2 gaskets. Any ideas?

    Your FLAPS will have it. Of course you may have to explain what it is, and what it looks like to pimply-faced kid behind the computer... :rofl:

    Making your own is a lot more tedious than I expected, but not impossible. I gotta get to work; will check in when I get home again.....

    Not that bad IMHO. Use the original as a template, and get a couple of new blades for the X-acto knife and you'll be good to go. Important safety tip tho- save the :beer: for later! R) R) R)

    An art supply store will have them. A utility knife with a new blade will work too, just that an X-acto knife is easier to handle.
