Nice store. Had to add that one to my bookmarks.
They carry the same Newport kit so if you order the correct one for your drive it should be bolt in or at the worst need a couple of washers to space it out a tad.
Inverter has more capacity than the one Newport sold so a bonus but also a bit more expensive than theirs was.
Where your fabrication skills might be needed is in the switch -- unless you plan on just drilling a hole in the dash and leaving the old as a dummy. I've had electric in my 56 since removing the aux vacuum source when the oil pump was changed years ago. Decided to swap a Chevy electric out for a Newport because that motor was smaller in depth and looked better and wouldn't interfere as much with other stuff nearby.
Wanted to keep the dash switch intact since it also controls the washer. Didn't want to lose the co-ordinator either so that was a second motive -- see if I could make the wiper co-ordinator work with the Newport. The Chevy had that ability built in but I accomplished both objectives on the Newport by making a switch module the original cable as well as the co-ordinator could operate. Didn't turn out too bad and upside is if the next owner want to go back original nothing was modified or destroyed.
