Hi,
Have anyone change the internal wiper motor before? Its on my '65 bus.
Does Radioshack or some other store have a 12V motor which would fit in with little or no modifications?
I have a voltage switch already (6->12V), but don't like it.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Dave

If you`ve got a decent core motor, you can get a 6 volt motor re-wound to 12 volt. Wink

the WW armature does fit a 65 stock motor housing and the 1967 one year only 12 volt motor requires yuo to dent the upright heat tube that goes behind the parcel trya to make it fit. Simply put it is a pita ask me how i know Smile
