    Wilcox seabrace stabilizers

    Hi all, I have scoured the Internet trying to find a cross reference part number for seabrace servo motors. It is my understanding that they are Mercedes windshield wiper motors. I can't seem to find out any more information. Does anyone have a part number? Or a model number of the car that The motor fit?

    Thanks! I spoke to Danny this morning. What a nice guy! The bad news is that the motor is no longer available anywhere. I am exploring a retrofit option and perhaps having a new gear made for my existing motor.

    If you know what vehicle the motor fit, maybe you could find a used one in a junk yard.

    How about if you take the motor off the other side and take it to an electric motor repair shop. They might be able to fix the bad one or match the good one.

    Thanks guys. The spur gear in the motor is stripped. The motor is ok other than that. If I could figure out what actual vehicle the motor fit I could possibly figure out a fix. Perhaps someone out there has a solution.

    I've got a set as well and have been told that they were GM parts not Mercedes... but that was from a guy who I had do some work on the electronics side.

    I'm going to be doing shaft seals on them this year... not looking forward to that.

    How did the seal replacement go?

    I've seen the video. They're Saginaw power steering boxes, similar to the one on my pickup truck. I actually thought it was a pretty clever design.

    I agree with clever design description. What video are you referring to?
