    Wiper Mount with Air Conditioning | Where did you mount the motor?

    All,
    I’m running out of room on the Firewall due to Air Conditioning Unit (North Race Cars Unit) along with the Hyperspark control box.


    Anyone have pictures of how they mounted the Wiper Motor with a Air Conditioning unit.

    Thanks in advance,
    Matt

    I too have northracecars AC and I mounted my motor on the right side engine compartment at the front face of the passenger foot box. Not only is it tight finding a spot for the motor, but there is very little room for the wiper transmissions between the AC and cowl. Also, I am using Specialty Power Windows wiper kit.

    Here is my solution and has been working for my first 1000 miles. Used once but seems to work well. Yes, there is little room for working with the passenger wiper transmission.
