Piero franchi Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hi GuysI am in the middle of a resto, well its a resto with a rather lot of modiing ;)one thing that is on my to do list is the wiper motor.I have a spit Mk2, with single speed wiper motor.I am wishing to change it to the two speed motor.NOW I have at my disposal, boths types of two speed motor, One as per the GT6 other as per late spit.I have never seen either twin speed motor in action, not just from a motor point of veiw,but more when fitted, which works better.I say this as the late spitfire also used a differant arm mechernisum (spelling) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are typing/posting it underlines suspected spelling mistakes in Red like MS Word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piero franchi Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hi Thanks for your replyI really would like to know how they work in the real world.the amount off moding I have done to my spit, changing the wiper motor, bracket, and fittings is no real problem.I am in the middle of fitting early spit mk4 (black plastic) dash into my mk2, togeather with a late spit 1500 wiring loom, the loom at least will have the fitment for the latter wiper motor.Do the latter wiper motors work any better than the two speed square older type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMaze Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hi Piero,in my opinion, the later wipermotor is the better one.The DR3 (square) is not a real 2 speed, but more a single speed with an added slow speed. Only 2 brushes.The later is a real 2 speed motor with 3 brushes.Only drawback is the wiring. The old ones were switched to earth, while the late are switched to plus. But with the new wiring loom no problem there.You also need the first tube that connects to the motor.CheersHarry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
