Good design, lousy build quailty.
Fit it on my 48 ford F3. Almost bolted straight in but the tang that drives the wiper did not fit the factory wiper and had to be ground down to work. Otherwise, fit well. Though the wiper switch dial is not period correct and I had to fit an original knob in it's place.
However it failed immediately with less than an hour of use. First rain I got caught in and the linkage failed entirely, jamming something internally overcenter. I switched it off but the self return was still on, attempting to return it to rest against the jam. By the time I realized and pulled the fuse, motor was fried.
I have still not been able to unjam the linkage from the outside. Based on the feel and the failure, I suspect bushings wore through immediately and flipped a linkage inside, and it remains jammed solid. Perhaps the armature of the motor also seized from the load, who knows.
Despite, going on runtime, this being an immediate failure, it of course happened after the warranty expired, leaving me with a paperweight buried in the dash of my truck.
Cost optimized junk. Just rebuild a vacuum unit.
