I don't have one of these, but someone should. I think that 67-69 should drop
right in, while the 70 units will need larger holes where the shafts come
thru
the body. This may seem like a pain, but it's a stronger and better design.<<
This is what I used on my Notch (the 70 set up). I did have to open the holes
slightly, but I also had to find the 70 only wiper arms (71 swapped sides,
but both use nuts on top). On my son's 65, we used a wiper motor unit out of a
69 (that we bought off the Samba), and it bolted right in. The only issue we
ran into with it was the 69's wiper arm shafts were larger that the 65's (8mm vs
6mm), so we just opened them up with a mill, until we can find a correct set
of later style arms. Just something to be aware off.
