As I work on my -6 clone I was wondering what most use for the wiper motor? I swear someone mentioned using a 944 motor??
What harness and switch are you using ?
If a 6 or 911 switch use a 911 3 speed motor adapted to your 914 wiper
rack.
I didn't realize the 6 switch needed a 6 motor. Will the 914-4 motor work?
Sixes always had a 3 speed wiper like a 911
Choose a 911 motor that is configured like the original 914 one.
There are versions with the 'snail gearbox' on one side and others with it on the
opposite side.
Are you adapting a 911 steering column and switches ?
Yes I am using an early 911 switch and happen to have an extra 944 motor and thought that may work..
Damn another thing to collect
I have a wiper motor from a '76 911.....Yay? nay?
Use a 914 rack and put the later 911 3 speed motor that looks just like the 914 2 speed. Wire from there. -6 motors are unique to themselves.
Thanks ...now to find where I put it.
Ben ,go for the 914 drive gear and Boxster motor,good upgrade,I think Mcmark detailed it a ways back,seemed pretty easy,sorry cant find the link.
I bought a Boxster motor to do mine,another future job .

Just an update the 944 motor is 3 speed.. Confirmed this morning.
I am doing the complete 911 /left hand ignition so now is good enough time as any to do the swap..
Just buy a 911 wiper motor setup. Set the 911 wiper rack next to the 914. You will see that the tubes that pass the arms through the cowl are longer on a 911. So take the 911 wiper rack apart and shorten the tubes to the same length as the 914 rack. Then put the shafts and arms from the 914 rack into the 911 rack. Use the 911 motor.
Or, just get a 964 wiper rack assembly. It will bolt right into the holes on the 914, and it sits much closer to the cowl on the underside. You will have to make a support for the motor though.
