This is a wiper assy I pulled out of a Squareback. The problem is that I am unsure if it's 12V or 6V. I do have another assy, # 343 955 111 D, which is out of a Type 34 Karmann Ghia, that I know is 6V.

Can anyone assist on the former? Thanks.

hook it up to 12v you will find fast, carefull for your fingers that will be the only thing that you hurt. common sense should also be applied

It should say someplace on the motor whether it is 6v or 12v. I suppose I could go out to the shop and look at my spare 12V and see what the number is.

Just looked at my spare. It is a 311-955-113-C, and it is a known 12V. Came out of a '69.
So if yours is a "K", it would be 12V also. Probably a '72,73. Does it have the tapered shafts with the threaded nuts for the wiper arms?

The only Squares I have parted out where a 1963 and 1970. Here's the culprit:

Looking at my parts books #s, I think that is out your 1970.

Extension K is not listed though

'71-up is listed as an M

What year does my "C" show??
I was told it was out of a '69.
I sold the one out of my parts car, then had to buy one back for the conversion of my '66

Well, I can assure you that's it's suffix is a 'K'. What does your parts book say about the 343 wiper assy?
