Ficken does not sell rebuild kits. I need a kit for my 1938 Super 8, model 1604. Anybody know who sells one.
Vacuum wiper motor rebuild kits are very hard to come by, especially ones in good condition. Basically Ficken is the only game in town when it comes to rebuilding vacuum wiper motors -- he bought up all the remnants of the factory and is the only one who has the parts, gaskets, and machinery to do a complete first-class rebuild. The amount of time you'll spend looking for a kit, fiddling with the rebuild, and then having to do it over again in a year when you find out the seals aren't quite seating again (likely to be a problem on such an old casting) may be outweighed by the $100 you'll spend to get it done right the first time, with a 3-year warranty, by Ficken.
