 |
|
I bought this wiper motor at a swap meet yesterday and I'm not sure it will work in my Thing. You can barely make out the numbers on it, they look like 111 955 113 which I believe is for a 67 beetle but the shaft on it doesn't match. It looks like it would work in a Thing, all of the connections match with the exception of the ground (#31) connection is missing and the shaft looks right.

| I used most of the guts out of one like that to make mine work. Can't remember why it would not interchange or why not all parts interchanged. |

Since we're on the subject, can anyone tell me where to get these screws?

| You may use some parts from this but Things has a gear box that mounts it to the windshield frame and the shaft post has a nut that holds it on. That beetle motor is made for a chassie assy. Hope Al Capulco can help here. |

| Once I took it apart I can see how different it is, there are some usable parts though so still worth picking up. Thanks for the replies. |

| That looks like a 2 speed 6v motor to me, not a '67. Just going by the shaft and connector block. SWF made a lot of wiper motors that look similar but are not very compatible. I have lots of those little screws, just send me a PM and you can have 4. |
