All of the armature converters I have seen are 55 onwards. Will these work in earlier? Mines a 53.
Thanks in advance

I made this simple current limiter designed just for running a 6v wiper on 12 volts. It works really well

Depends on you wiper motor. Not all cars have the original parts. Pic and or decsription of your motor would be helpful.

I have been usIng solid state 6v to 12v converters the last few years and I love them. These are not those crappy Empi/JBugs ones. They produce exactly 12.0 volts. About $30
