hehehe... In my weekly junkyard search I finally got a '83 Volvo station wagon rear wiper motor( there have been lots of 86-87s) It IS a 12 Volt German SWF and matches the '63 Bus one I've got on the table(as to shape and mounting). Mounts the same, push on connections, 3 electrical connections (instead of 2), The push on actuating rod even matches in length, except it's got a 10mm locking nut instead of a set screw and the rod is 40% thicker. Nice to have another option besides 67 12 Beetles(USA)ones and the rewound armatures when converting to 12 volt (and getting a 2nd higher speed for rainy freeway trips). At least locally the mid 80's Volvos are turning up in the Junk more often than 67 Beetles ( which is good) and not to mention 16 yrs newer... Lloyd in Eureka.CA.
