 |
|
As I was driving home in the rain for the first time with my still 6volt wipers running at warp speed and then deciding to stick on till I shut the key off I pulled the wiper assembly out last night. I found a wiper assembly in my myriad of parts from a mk1. Drilled 2 different holes in the bus assembly and motor bolted right up. The main shaft also was a direct fit. Now was pressed for time and only wired up power I no longer have the park option but am fine with that as I like the fact that I can park them to the left now. Works great easy mod and no more turbo wipers.

What does that motor normally fit? Is that the 1967 12v motor? It looks different.

Bringing back an old thread, I can confirm that this works great! I realized my original wiper motor was trashed and the gear was broken last night, so I came on here looking for a solution and stumbled upon this thread.
A quick trip to my local auto Wreckers and I am back in action! 😎
It "parks" the wipers wherever it coasts to once you shut off the switch, but for $35 Cdn it works well. Now my wipers are 12v like the rest of my bus. |

I should clarify, it doesn't park the wipers because of how I have it wired right now. So far I have a ground and one speed working but I am happy. |
