Im currently rewiring my fc and im stuck at what to do about fitting a different wiper motor. If anyone has any sugestions on what to use it would be very helpfull.
I'm sure you will probably get a reply from Ken McLean,I bought one from Ken and it works great excellent fitting instructions and also came with trouble shooting advice..
How much did it set u back.
Mike, cost of 2 speed wiper motor is $80 with trade in of EK single speed wiper motor. You must have the 2 small arms on the back of the EK motor in order to make the conversion work.

Ken im intrested in getting one of these two speed motors but i dont have an ek motor to trade in. Also would u be able to give me a bit of information about the conversion does it come in some sort of kit etc
thanks mike
Unable to supply at present because I dont have any EK donors either.
Comes as a bolt on package with switch, installation instructions and wiring instructions.
You find me a EK wiper motor and I will supply you a guaranteed working 2 speed motor that will bolt straight into an FE or FC.

hey mate
ive got quite a few ek electric wiper motors here, drop me a pm if your interested
Torque (and Mike06 if you're on the hunt for a conversion unit):
When I converted my single-speed EK motor to one of Ken's two-speed jobs, my EK wiper motor was no use to him as an exchange. There are two types, AC Delco and Preslite. Only the latter could be modified into a 2 speed unit. This may have changed since.
The Preslite motor has a groove in the lower end of the casing like a piston ring.
cheers

Basically there are 3 components which are needed for my new conversion.
1. The base plate - Preslite is perfect, Delco has to be redrilled to fit. Also need the rectangular rubber insulator.
2. The primary drive arm - Once again Preslite is perfect, Delco has to be cut and welded to work.
3. The secondary drive arm - Both Preslite and Delco have the same arm so both are good.
In short - I can make both work, but the Delco is a bit more trouble.
IMPORTANT - I need the 3 items listed above, a lot of EK wiper motors you will find do not have the 2 small drive arms on them - these are virtually useless without the drive arms.
I am willing to buy as many EK wiper motors as I can for stock, bearing in mind that I have to buy from the wreckers the donor 2 speed motor and a switch and spend an hour of my time putting it all together and still sell at $80!

If i buy an ek motor from torque350 how much is it going to cost me still or will u do it cheaper. Â
Mike - I will covert for $70 if you supply Preslite motor, or $75 with Delco.
