6 -> 12v 65 notch
helloo.
My 65 notch has been converted to 12v by a previous owner but in need of some attention as sat for a long time.
Am in the process of making sure these 2 motors are expired before replacing.
Starter- as with many, 6v starter retained but this is now dead.
Step down installed with the wiper motor but this also appears to be dead- making sure this isnt a wiring issue.
If I end up replacing:
I'd like to install a 12v starter- so are my options: grind bell housing or have a shop convert a 6v for me?
Will a later 12v type 3 wiper mechanism fit up in the same place or mods required? Or is it possible to just switch the wiper motor on the wiper
mechanism. If I can get the 6v working with existing stepdown i wont bother but just in case.....
any advice vey welcome.

As for gearbox clearance... See my members ride here: http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=106947&page=1
I had to do this as i was putting a 12v flywheel into a 6v gearbox... So i got some 2 X 60 grit sandpaper flapper wheels on the drill to clear the
bell housing...
Also, i started a thread here: http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=106941&page=1#pid998445
Hopefully this all means something to you..

But be very careful grinding the gearbox as the little shavings catch fire very easily and you cant put out with water

to change to 12V starter you need to change the flywheel (different amount of teeth on each), grind gearbox for clearance and change starter bush ,
which you should change if replacing with another 6v starter anyway.
