Rewinding 6v windscreen wiper motors
I've just got my splitty blue slipped and its now become my daily driver! I remember that my wipers went like the clappers and were hard to turn
off. Does anyone know of an auto electrician that can rewind the 6v motor so that I can run 12v through it. I'm not fond of those reducer
thingy's
Cheers
Steve

I think Volksbahn was selling rewound armatures so you could run 12 volts in a 6 volt motor.

Likewise!
Both my KG & SC are 12V but the wipers are still 6V. I use resistors to knock the voltage down but they are not the answer because when they (the
resistors) warm up their characteristics change & the wipers go so fast they over-ride the stop cam. I think there are 2 options: an after market
12V motor is ideal but I'll try an electrical (radio?) place ist to see if they make variable resistors so I can "dial-in" a speed.
