GDAY TONY
                I DID IT YEARS AGO ON AN FC THAT I USED TO OWN. I THINK THE SWITCH & MOTOR CAME FROM AN
EJ THAT I FOUND IN THE BUSH. IF MY MEMORY IS CORRECT THE WHOLE LOT JUST FITTED STRAIGHT IN NO WORRIES. SO IF IT ALL LIGHNS UP YOU SHOULD BE OK.
JUST MAKE SHURE THAT THE ACTUATING ARM ON THE BACK OF THE MOTOR IS THE SAME LENGTH AS THE OLD ONE OTHERWISE THE WIPPERS MIGHT TRY TO CLEAN THE MUDGUARDS.
                            HOPE THIS HELPS.

Hi

I did the electric wiper conversion for my FC last year.  I got a two speed motor and switch on an FC Backing from KEN McLEAN one of the posters on this site.  He shipped it to my door for $110 a mere morsal of the fee rare spares was going to charge me.

I suggest you try Ken because the set up he sent me is flawless.
