Wiper motor kit

Can anyone tell me if a 54-55 wiper 12v kit will fit a 49? If not what's the difference? Thanks

No....the mounting is not the same. You can make it work but fab work will need to be done

Re: Wiper motor kit

Ah ok many thanks, I've just jumped in head first & bought one without thinking as it was a good price, if it's doable then that isn't so bad! Thanks

Re: Wiper motor kit

I did the same (trying to mount a 54 motor) but it never worked oke for me, so bought a new wiperkit for '49.
If you need measurements of the bracket let me know

Re: Wiper motor kit

Where the transmissions fit onto the motor (where the spring clips fit) could you measure the distance between the 2, many thanks

Re: Wiper motor kit

Great forum, 15 years ago I spend days to figure what was wrong, never thought the pins where also different.....
Nice to hear you get it working.
