There are about 2-3 suplliers that make these, on the back on the rod and custom magazine there is one, i think they called Raingear system

Also I found these http://www.julianos.com/electric_wiper_conversions.html

or Gearhead Enterprises, but didn't they make that faulty 605 box conversion...

or from what I hear 55-57 chevy electric wiper setups are a exact fit. Also 1960 Galaxie, apparently fit?

Got mine from Concours Parts $185.  They work great, but don't use them very often.

My car already had the '57 Chevy motor installed when I bought it. Looks like it came that way.
