Title: EK Wiper Motor Needed in SA
Post by: Hobbo on October 13, 2009, 08:06:17 PM
Hi, I'm needing an EK wiper motor for my FE. I am unable to proceed with the restorations until I get the wipers working. I am prepared to travel or pay for freight from interstate plus the cost of wiper motor. Please help. Lloyd

OK, I found an EK wiper motor locally but unable to figure out how to connect the wiper control arms? I see there is an extension arm missing? Is it still on the EK the wiper motor came off? If so I'll go get it. Or can I just extend the right arm? Can someone post a Picture of Their setup? Thanks

I think this picture ($2) will be worth a thousand words on the subject...

Thanks for the pictures but I can't understand how it works with that floppy extra link? I must be missing something ? Would that extra link be on the EK I took the wiper motor off ?

Well if the EK was complete when you took the wiper motor off, then yes, it would be.

It isn't floppy, it's fixed parallel to the arm coming out of the wiper motor. Basically, it forms a crankshaft with the two wiper arms as conrods.

Hope that helps
