Wiper motor part # decals

I am in the process of reproducing the 1966 & 1970 correct part # decals for the 1966 & 1970 Cutlass & 442 wiper motors. These decals were found on the round motor cars,the rectangle motors had ink stamps instead of decals. The decals will be the correct style/finish that came on the motors from the factory. They will have the correct part # and will be date coded as close to your car as possible. The date codes are done by quarters because exact date codes are not possible. They will be priced @ $12.00 each delivered to you. The Chevy units on eBay are $25. I'm gauging interest and taking orders. This will be a first for Oldsmobile cars and really add that final touch to your restoration. This is a limited run and unless the demand is high,probably the only run of them. I should have them in less than 30 days,so get you order in now. Thanks

Here's a picture of the 66 Olds Decal. The 70 decals will be done shortly if not already.

Why re-invent the wheel. Ames, corvette central, and few other places have them already. $3.00 each.

I don't think the other suppliers make a Oldsmobile specific part# tag.

In the research I did,there were not any Olds decals. If you just a decal for appearance sake,buy a Vette decal instead of an Olds. I am doing this for the hobby and to cover my cost,time and effort. If that's not appreciated,that's fine.

I thought the number on the motor housing was a date code only. No one lists a 77 date code so I went with a 72 model year. Close enough for me. Did the motor come with an oldsmobile specific # or were they just all GM generic wiper motors.
Now I was looking for a Cruise Control module sticker. They are brand name "Perfect circle" I found a Cadillac one. Its the same but it has the caddy part # on it. They had 64-67 Oldsmobile ones too

In my research,I haven't found any part #'s that cross over. The problem is the part is for the complete assembly,not just the motor. The assembly includes the pump & arm,so the arm is probably the difference between car brands. I sell my decals for $12,the dude on eBay gets $25. If I just wanted a decal and numbers didn't mater,I would buy the $3 Corvette decals. I'm just trying to provide a product for the Olds community that largely gets ignored when it comes to specialty parts.

Could you make one for a 1977 if I got the part# and aprox. date? Or would a one of be impractical?

I will see if the vendor can do a one off. I know the guy on eBay says he will do a one off for $45. That's what got me started on this project.
