Title: Our FE project Post by: wimd on May 01, 2016, 03:44:29 PM So here are photos of an FE we've just bought (at it's old home). We'll be bringing it home in a couple of weeks. Should keep the wife and I busy for the next 3 or 4 years (http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg550/Wim_Duncker/421970019_zps94d42lfn.jpg) ($2) (http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg550/Wim_Duncker/421969897_zpsjuswc4ab.jpg) ($2) (http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg550/Wim_Duncker/421970092_zpsc8c4unif.jpg) ($2) Title: Re: Our FE project Post by: camxsmith on May 01, 2016, 05:51:37 PM Looks good Paeroa, and you are correct that it will keep you busy ... :D
Title: Re: Our FE project Post by: fcwrangler on May 01, 2016, 06:39:07 PM Looks like a good starting point, be prepared for unexpected issues though. My 1 year rebuild has stretched to 4 years and still going.

Title: Re: Our FE project Post by: wimd on October 07, 2016, 10:00:11 AM Some advice please. I'm wanting to convert my FE to electric wipers using an EK motor. I've found a wrecker who has a motor and sent me photos. It's got the crank arm with it but doesn't look the same as photos I've seen on this Forum. Does anyone recognise this and will it do the job? Thanks.

if you go to MODIFICATION HELP and look under my thread ( electric wipers fitment PBH0069 ) there is photos of the correct arms cheers Phil. Title: Re: Our FE project Post by: Errol62 on October 07, 2016, 12:23:53 PM Half the crank is missing from that. The bit you have to take off to remove the second actuator arm. Can be a bit like hens teeth. Also there is a clip but you can get them on eBay now.

Title: Re: Our FE project Post by: Errol62 on October 09, 2016, 10:12:39 AM Tricky bit for me would the clip mount but if you have access to machining equipment?

This bit? Regards Wayne b Title: Re: Our FE project Post by: wimd on October 09, 2016, 03:34:03 PM ...and the saga continues. I had assumed the FE was on vacuum wipers as there was a vacuum motor in the bits that came with it; hence my mission to search out an EK motor. I took a look under the cowl this afternoon and to my surprise I found a FoMoCo electric wiper motor mounted up under there. I've put some photos below. Has anyone seen a setup like this before? You'll also notice that someone in the past has cut through the actuator arms. Butcher!
