Any alternatives to the DSE wipermotor? - Lateral-g Forums

just buy the dse part and be done w/it. by time you hunt down everything to do, then re-engineer it to work, you'll have more than $300. (if you value your time) just my 2 cents.

In true Hot Rodding sense, go to the junk yard, buy the motor (late model Camaro) make a bracket and arm for you application. Now the tricky part, If you are using a late model colunm with the wiper on the stalk, you're almost done. If you need to make a switch for the dash, that's Kyle's secret.
The switch is the hard part.
The wiring diagram for the switch is on the wiper motor diagram. If you find a multiple position switch (seven I think) then get to attatching the correct resistors via the diagram.
I don't want Kyle to hate me, he is super cool, and we had a very helpful conversation late night at Columbus this year...

There is alot to figure out, which is why Kyle charges what he does.
But in the 'I want to do it my self' Hot Rod world, you can figure it out.
And with the internet, you can find help, and the diagrams and ask the right person for help. Don't give up. Hot Rodding is all about trying to make it your self. Spending countless hours on figuring out something is part of the fun, and there is a great deal of pride that goes along with saying "I did it my self".

Everyone is always bitch en about Garage built or shop built
How about 'I made it' vs 'I bought it'.

Jesse James says one of his greatest prides is when someone say 'who made that? or where did you buy that', and he says "I made it". Or as he commonly says 'Hand made'.

While I'm not advocating the idea of making a clone of the DSE set-up they will sell you their switch. The part number is 991206 and the price is $65.00.

Great information, I didn't know they would sell just the switch.

PM me if these photobucket pics are too small and i can email the bigger ones.

Ps member jannes_z-28 has made excellent wiring diagram to make it work

I agree in many cases but I also don't see the need to "reinvent the wheel" so to speek. I could whittle my own wheels or weld up my own valve covers, but I don't have that time.

I need that time to make/work out stuff that nobody sells or offers.

Maybe I just need more time.

After driving through the torrential downpours in Atlanta -on the way to Run Thru the Hills... I am very happy with every penny I spent on DSE's wiper motor!

I agree. After reading all the articles on how to DIY, I'll be glad to give DSE my credit card number for this. They do the homework for you.

I wish money was not a factor! It's just that I don't mind paying a little extra for the engineering that goes into some of the products we buy for these cars, this part being one of them. I guess it all boils down to your specific budget.
