Posted by: maxwelj Mar 20 2023, 11:09 AM

Hi all
My wiper motor for my 914/6 is evidently not rebuildable as the brush holders are toast. The motor is not the same as the 914/4 version. Any ideas on replacements or work arounds?
TIA
Jack

Save the electrical connector for it and transfer it to a 964 wiper motor. It will work fine with the 914-6 stuff.

How are they different if you don't mind my asking. I have a buddy with some 4 cylinder parts cars.

The wiring part or the mounting part?

I have a spare 914-6 wiper assembly that I may consider parting with. Its been from a CA car stored last 30 years.

PM me for details if you end up not finding another solution.
