Default Tico w/s motor

A couple of questions for our learned scribes:

1) Do any of you have or know where to find a schematic dwg. of a Tico wiper motor? 2) Is there to be any lube in the large chamber where the piper is driven? 3) Does having a touring cam effect the wiper in any way (less or unstable vacuum)?

Thank you!!

I meant where the WIPER is driven. People fly Pipers...

I just looked at Snyder's and Bratton's and while both offer the bowl gaskets, neither offer the valve gasket. Any ideas out there where I might fins that?

I spent ages trying to find an overhaul kit, Little Dearborn had a partial kit but that was it. Apparently the guy who used to source/make the kits is no longer doing so any more. Ficken will overhaul anything newer than 40's motors (not 100% sure so check with him please ) So after drawing a blank luckily I managed to buy an NOS motor right here on the barn. It's sure proving to be a challenge keeping the vac motors going.
