Pics of installing 6v to 12v wiper motor converter?

Post by doodoodleylou »

I bought myself a 6v to 12v wiper motor converter yesterday to get my windshield wipers working. Does anyone have any pictures of the process? I am not quite sure how I am supposed to mount this.

Did you purchase a voltage reducer or a 12v wiper armature?

I bought option B of the two here. (sorry, still learning all the technical terms and what nots) http://www.mamotorworks.com/acvw?frame=2.4969

I was able to find a spot to get it mounted and I think I located the correct wires but Im not sure how to figure out which one is to the indicator box and which one is to the wiper switch.

A '67 12-volt wiper assembly is a direct bolt-in, and you get the two-speed wipers as a bonus.

Is your motor SWF or Bosch? There is a complete write up on the samba and how ONLY the SFW motor is the one that can be converted. I have pictures of mine on my project page. Mine is a bosch and cannot be converted with the armature. I need that '67 motor to convert mine as well.
I wouldn't mine buying the motor from jbugs or something but it's $100.
