Title: Wiper Motor 12 volt VW Beetle 1952-1964
Post by: Mickyb on April 03, 2017, 03:43:15 PM
I have a Wiper Motor 12 volt VW Beetle 1952-1964 and the tag for the fast speed has snapped off flush.

Does anyone have a spare or know if its possible to get it repaired.

I have slow speed but not fast. Does the MOT require 2 speed or is 1 ok ?

I have a spare later type wiper motor but I have recently modified the wiper arm to give a better sweep so I would like to carry on using the early type.

I don't know if it possible to put the early spindles on the later unit has anyone tried it ?

Cheers Micky

If it can be physically opened, then I can probably attach a wire inside it for you to connect to  :-\

All 52 - 64 motors were single speed and 6 volt  :-\

Is there enough left of the tag to solder a wire to?
