Has Anyone ? Wiper Question

[chuckinphx]

I know everybody uses drop mounts for wiper motor. Has anyone flipped the motor the other direction and positioned it inline ? I know it would take a little fab to make a mount... if its inline will it bind up?? and made a aluminum cover for it or something... just trying to make the assembly a little smaller.. thanks for any input

That's what the wiper motor drop bracket does, it lowers the motor and flips it 180*.

thanks , that will save me from trying to fab it myself..

Your welcome, they're so cheap to buy, it's not worth your time to fab.

So you already have factory electric wipers Sean, or are you replacing vacuum with electric?
If already electric, you're going with the individual motor type just to shave off some height then?
Just curious since it sounds like more hassle than a bracket would be. Unless you're just trying to get every fraction of an inch out of there.

Cover

Will the wiper cover still work with the drop down bracket?

I had to cut the end of mine out for it to fit.

Yep, like he said. To re-use the stock cover you would have to modify it.

Just my opinion, but I think WildHorses or Tom's kit will work out better. Thats what I'm going to use for my vacuum conversion.

I'm considering Tom's or WH kit now after mocking up a stock motor conversion.
I too have a 67 w/ vacuum setup and need to add electric wipers.
What I don't like about the stock motor is its either up high above the frame or it would have to hang down low.
