70 Watt 12 Volt worm gearbox wiper motors

These motors produce about 70 Watts at 12 Volts DC and plenty of torque. All of these motors are right handed (Mmm that depends on how you hold it) hence they at slightly funny angles in the sketches. It may also be required that the speed controllers for these motors be adjusted, as most motors will run faster in one direction then the other, will have to wait and see about that though. These are actually wiper motors from cars, in this case a Fiat Punto, models from 1993 to 1999.
