Any alternatives to the DSE wipermotor?
 

one that lookst about the same but is much cheaper?

The motor is basically the standard GM wiper motor of the last 10 years or so.

They come in a few varieties and the one DSE uses is from LS1 Camaros.

I have one of those myself, bought on eBay for $30.00, then you need a connector (if the scrapyard doesn't provide it) and a switch.

The switch is a little tricky, you need a rotary switch with at least 9 positions, they usually comes with 12 positions and it has to have at least two planes.

If you are interested I have a wiring diagram for it made up in a short while. I am doing it just now.

You have to fabricate a bracket for it to adapt to the car. Easily done from 1/8 thick aluminum. I have a template for it too.

You can also use the wiper motor from a S10 pickup.


PM me if you need any of the drawings.

Hello Jan! Good info :thumbsup: There was allso feature in PHR November 2002 how Mark Stielow did it for hes mule camaro. I have it scanned so PM if you need it.

Jan I'll take a copy of those diagrams and templates if you don't mind, do you have any pictures yet? I want to locate mine under the drivers fender.
Thank you for your time Wayne

We used a wiper ,otor from an 88 Vovol....made a simple L bracket and munted it on the inside of the cowl for the smooth firewall look.

It works great and it was straight foward * sorta of *...I will try and post some pics.

I hope bumping old threads isn't frowned on. I'd very much like to have a copy of the template, and the scanned article emailed to me.

thank you

me 2 me 2!!!
I need to stay in the stock location... 2 speeds is fine, nuttin fancy needed, just something that is not an underhood eyesore.

Okay - not the easiest route - but if you are looking for ultra clean and fully functional - check out the VW wiper mod.

You can see details on my www.mcspeed.com site under the 69 Camaro.

Basically, you get a junk yard 85 or so VW wiper motor. You will need a couple of relays a capacitor and some spare wire to make it go.

I ended up putting a 1981 Corvette column in my car - then converted to a 1996 Caprice wiper/cruise switch and ran it all through the column. That gave me space to put a fuel pressure gauge on the dash panel where the old wiper switch would have gone.

Again ... a bit more work - but it is so clean and smooth.

You have lots of craative ideas , i really like your way of fab work:cool:

If somebody needed the stielow/wiper artickle, just pm me.

If anyone has used a standard GM wiper, what have you used as a switch? I'm using this in a '68 Camaro and would like to keep the switch mounted on the dash if possible. (For '69+ you can simply replace the turn signal stalk with one from the Wiper motor donor vehicle)
I have things mocked up with a stepper switch and a breadboard with a handful of various resistors. I'd like to utilize an OEM switch if possible, before I go down the path of trying to cram a small circuit board onto the back of my stepper switch and also cutting the dash to fit this new switch.
