FE-FC Holden Discussion Forum

Hi guys, I am getting desperate for EK wiper switch or FC light switch that I can use as a wiper switch.  I do have a few parts I can swap and happy to pay with cold hard cash, please someone out there must have one they are willing to part with.

PM me if you dont find a ek switch found one in the shed.

Thanks FCHoon,

Just checked my messages and found one from early holden saying the wiper motors Ken sold were set up to use lc/lj torana switches  ??? yes I am very confused but will email Ken and tryand find out excactly what I need

Doesnt really matter at the end of the day its only a switch i would use FE-EK one as they have the same finish on the knob.

It also depends on what type of wiper motor it is, 1 speed or 2 speed??

I believe the torana switches were used because they were originally set up as 2 speed and were directly interchangeable (with an increase in the size of the hole in the dash fascia).

If your wiper motor is single speed you will need a resistor style switch to alter the current getting to the motor to achieve a slower or faster speed. 

The motor I brought was the 2 speed with torana 2 speed switch, so to achieve the look of an original switch I drilled the back out of an FC knob on a drill press, removed the torana knob and glued the FC one on in its place.

Dont ask me what I am going to do if I ever want to get the switch out of the dash................will cross that bridge when the time comes!!!
