73 FJ wiper motor

[Lolita]

Hey guys I have "nearly" fully restored 73 FJ45 p/u that I am desperately in search of a wiper motor for here on the island. Built it in Costa Rica and drove it back - hence the name.

cheers!

Nice rig! You won’t need wipers, hardly ever rains here any more. Does it have a heater?
Just kidding. That’s a beauty, but if I’ve learned one thing on this forum it’s how to nitpick.
Your bezel is upside down. Universal Mud Greeting!

This is an old pic from the baja...it's been flipped since. Nope, no heater The wiper motor is for the DOT inspection. If you know anywhere around here I can get one it would be huge. I have the option of sending it off to South Carolina to D&M Restorations (pretty sweet place) - but I want to drive it this summer.

Very nice.

I think I have a couple top wipers in a box somewhere. Reasonably sure one of them works, but it's been probably ten years since I even looked at them.

Those top wipers are pretty similar to the generic boat ones you can get at any marine store, might be worth a look if it's more about function than being absolutely correct.

Pm me if you want me to have a dig for the wiper motors. I'm in cedar tho, so it's a bit of a drive.

South carolina option sounds $$$...
