Continued stripping my -6 at the weekend and took the blower and wiper motor assembly out. Discovered on removal that she had a -4 wiper assembly installed when the car was converted to racer back in the 2000's

Does anyone have pictures of a complete and correct 914-6 wiper and motor assembly and how does it differ from say an early >73 911 set up, different spindle spacing, wiring, motor?

Also does anyone have any pictures of a naked genuine 914-6 steering column tube (914.347.072.00). I've looked through many of the build threads, parts vault and column conversions (Clay's and SirA's below)

Picture wise I have only found genuine -6 column tubes assembled up with switches / clam shells or say Clays naked converted tube below

Bolt hole spacing on the flat plate of a genuine 6's tube and later 4 plate looks wider, what about the early 4 column plates, do they match the 6 column?

I knew that I would have to get all the column parts together for my car when I purchased it & sourced a complete 911 column not long after I bought her just in case I have to go down the tube conversion route / if I cannot source a genuine six tube

I didn't realise that I would also have to find the -6 wiper motor assembly as well.....any pictures, answers and guidance / leads on -6 wiper assembly and column tube would be appreciated

Thanks
Jon

Thanks guys, that was exactly what I was after

914Sixer described exactly what I thought I should have, black bodied motor with a bracket that is bolted to the main rack

This is what I have removed which looks very similar to Rgalla's. Was there an early and late wiper assembly that mirrored the change in ignition switch location from dash to column?

Rgalla's -6 motor has the 4 spade terminals all facing the same way in a circle, my one has three in a circle and one set at 90 degrees to the others. Suspect I do indeed have a -4 motor assembly and need to hunt down a 914-6 set up

Rgalla it possible to get a measurement from the centre of the steering shaft to the mounting surface of the plate where it bolts up against the shells welded in bracket and the overall rectangular dimensions of the plate? I'm sure they would be useful dimensions for any members who might want to recreate a six column for an early car

Thanks
