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
Newport Engineering

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?

There is a guy on ebay right now with a 20 day auction, he has a  $159 buy it now price. Says its a bolt up piece, I couldn't find a # on the auction. Let us know what you go with and how it worked. Mark

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.
