914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Electric Windshield Washer Motor

Posted by: jesiv Oct 8 2008, 06:39 PM

Ok so I am upgrading my windshield washer system from air to the 914-6/911 electric motor. I have seen Sir Andy’s thread

http://www.914world.com/specs/tech_el_washer.php

However, it looks like he drilled holes in the metal. Is there a stock place to mount it or atleast a place to mount it without drilling holes? Or just drill the holes and mount the sucker.

Does anyone have pics of how they did it?

Thanks for the help!

Regards,

James

I installed mine in the 914/6 location. The /6 has holes there from the factory and uses rubber plugs to mount the pump.

So Andy, were the holes threaded (if threaded what size) or did you just use sheet metal screws? I can't tell from the pic? Also, how many screws?

I cheaped out and just drilled holes and used bolts. I did, however, sandwich a layer of rubber inbetween to insulate against some of the noise.

I believe the stock /6 uses 3 rubber plugs.

Here's a pic from my original /6 project that shows the holes ...

Did you see the switch I made up to replace the valve?
