Wiper Motor!

Hi all, I have a 69 fastback and a late wipe motor mechanism and motor. Should this fit my 69 or are they different?

I've had a quick look and I can't see how it could fit In the same under the dash!

Many thanks

Fan issue

Hi all,

I'm refitting my tinware and fan to my new engine and the fan (Inner fan) is rubbing on the shroud. The gap is big at the top and rubs at the bottom. Any info on how to sort this? My fan does seem loose fit but is solid when bolted up.

Many thanks in advance.

Re: Wiring Help!

Hi, It did have an electric fuel pump as was FI but I remove the wiring. I added the tape to keep the wires all together when I took the body off the pan.

I can't find a wiring diagram that has anything other then red and black wires.....
