Title: Re: 2 speed wiper motor Post by: mcl1959 on September 30, 2005, 06:44:11 AM 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.

thanks mike Title: Re: 2 speed wiper motor Post by: mcl1959 on October 04, 2005, 08:12:48 AM 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.

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 RET Title: Re: 2 speed wiper motor Post by: mcl1959 on October 07, 2005, 06:25:33 AM 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. Title: Re: 2 speed wiper motor Post by: mcl1959 on October 08, 2005, 08:25:21 AM Mike - I will covert for $70 if you supply Preslite motor, or $75 with Delco.
