Title: Electic wiper pic needed and door seal pic
Post by: 59fcholden on January 28, 2008, 01:13:04 PM
Hi,
I have searched thru the boards,but havent been able to locate a picture of the electric wiper arm pivots needed to attach to the original fc arms
Could someone please post a picture of the Preslite wiper motor and the associated linkages.

Also could someone please post a picture of a door, with a close up of how the inner and outer door seals are postioned.
Thanks for any assistance
Ken

Thanks very much,
Did you have to remove any of the original cardboard material that is attatched to the inside of the firewall, to make more clearance for the arms?

Good news is, that i have the linkages,
Bad new is, the arm is bent and the spline hole is elongated somewhat.
Would anyone have a spare arm  :'(
I will try and massage it back into some shape and clean the hole up.

There are 2 lengths of drive shaft on EK motors. On the short one you will need to cut away some of the cardboard to allow for complete rotation of the arms.

Straightened out the arm,cleaned up the elongated hole. Trimmed some of the firewall cardboard away, and presto, i have working electric wipers. Now just have to wire them in.
Thanks for the help
