Thank you for helping get it where it can be seen

Tar. Hello. Thanks for answering. Yes that is the post. I thought that post should have shown with it’s own bold print heading rather than a reply to my original post. I think I realize what I did wrong. Please correct me if I’m wrong. What I should have done was create a new topic, the new topic name reflecting the original topic. Something like Delco wiper replacement instructions and part number. That way members that read the original post could relate and someone that didn’t see the original post looking for wiper information would go directly to the instructions. Now everyone has to read all the replies to get the instructions. Just seems to get lost in the reply area. Am I correct? Thanks for helping. Bob Vollner

Hello everyone, thank you for letting me join recently. Seems that there are a lot of good, knowledgeable people here that really enjoy the Lotus marque. I don’t have a Lotus of my own but have been enjoying myself repairing or rebuilding them for the last 45 years. Not a typo, that’s why Papaw is my sign in. The main reason I joined is,about 2 years ago I needed a replacement wiper motor for a Stevens car. I called all the U S suppliers and they all laughed telling me the motors are NLS and there is a real problem here. Try one of the adapted motors. Longer story shortened, with the help of my main supplier, 3 days and 50 or so motors later, I found a Bosch unit that bolted in using all the original Lotus hardware with minor wiring changes. Now I need help please. I posted the part number and installation instructions in the parts interchange area for the Stevens cars but the post shows as a reply to my original. Seems rather hidden. Maybe someone could tell me the correct way to post it.

Knowing the last post was 6 months ago and probably solved. In an emergency, the fuel door switch is the same as the window switch. I had to trim the hole to mount a fuel door switch, used a Jaguar Series 3 window switch that I had, worked fine and all looked good

Will need another day or so to find my notes, in the process of moving and notes are not where I thought. Notes have the Bosch part number and the proper order to rearrange the wiring in the original plug. This motor is the same dimensions as the original.

Will post tomorrow, need to dig up the part numbers

Just posted this. Just joined,evidently didn’t post correctly. Is there still interest in a direct replacement for Delco wiper motors? Have a bolt in Volkswagen unit, will post details if relevant. Uses original plug.
