Re: FB ute
There is probably enough leeway in the NCOP guidance that the intermittent can be called the second speed. It doesn't say anywhere that the wipers need to be continuous, just that they have to have two speeds and meet at least 45 cycles per minute fast speed, and at least 20 cycles per minute slow speed.Blacky wrote: Mon Mar 24, 2025 10:05 amThis is a stock single speed wiper motor but the intermittent thingy will work with a 2 speed.Harv wrote: Mon Mar 24, 2025 6:41 am Very neat, and a hell of a lot simpler than converting another wiper motor. Looks like a real winner for anyone needing to comply with the 2-speed wiper part of engineering.

The only thing i need to be careful of is CEVA workers trying to pull the choke out to start it - that's what broke the original choke cable![]()
Looking forward to the test-run to see if you can meet those two speeds.

Re: FB ute
Two speed is good but intermittent would be very handy, considering rain in SA is rarely more than a dry drizzle. I couldn’t live without a manual choke though. Considering the low cost, I’ll have to put one on her sedan, which only has single speed EK motor.

Just give it as much positive caster and negative camber as you can, and it should be right.

Re: FB ute
the 20 cycles per minute minimum wont be an issue but the 45 per minute flat stick might be an issue ???Harv wrote: Mon Mar 24, 2025 11:33 am

Re: FB ute
Harv, all the engineers i've dealt with won't accept intermittent has to have a switched 2 speeds which sucks because to me it's a ridiculous rule i don't even use 2 speed on the factory cars that have it, i love intermittent wipersBlacky wrote: Mon Mar 24, 2025 10:05 amThis is a stock single speed wiper motor but the intermittent thingy will work with a 2 speed.Harv wrote: Mon Mar 24, 2025 6:41 am Very neat, and a hell of a lot simpler than converting another wiper motor.

Re: FB ute
When you see the size of the circuit board compared to the choke knob it is a small compact unit. That is a good outcome Blacky
