Square Wiper motor needed

Any chance one of you might know where I can get a square shaped windshield wiper motor? Or if you have a decent used one you'd like to sell, please shoot me a PM.
I just need the electrical side of things.

Thanks,

Jason
 
Working square motors can be quite expensive if you need a fully functioning one. I'm sorry that I can't offer a spare but you may find that you can buy a used one off eBay since all you need is the electrical portion. Don't forget to branch out and consider other marques as donors (MGs, Sunbeams, etc.) Be aware however, that there are several different square motor types. Examine them carefully to make sure they are the same series as what you need the electrics for. I believe the type (and the production date) are stamped on the cover for the gear and slider.
 
Thanks for the advice, I need just the guts to use in my fan motor on the E-type.
There is a guy online that repairs old wiper motors. He's quoting a minimum of 250 to fix my fried motor. Uh, I don't think so.

Here's a picture.

Is this what you are calling a "square" wiper motor?

Jason, that's some nasty damage.

Take a look at these eBay items as possible donors.
Jag Part: 150366659000 (4 days left)
Sunbeam Part: 170123751868 (Buy it Now)

There are lots of others out there but they cost a lot more. The Sunbeam motor is disassembled so you can see what's inside.
