Jerry,
Thank you for the advice. I was able to remove ALL the guts from my 6V motor housing. All that is left is the case itself. I wrote Deve a PM yesterday because the stud centers on the VDO motor are a 2 5/16" and the hole centers on the case are at 2 1/2". The VDO motor only has studs on the front of the motor where the shaft comes out. The back of the motor and case are one piece. NO studs on the back. The motor fits in the case, but the 6V studs will not clear the side of the 12V case. I asked Deve if he had to elongate the holes so that the studs would clear. Deve said he did this over 10 years ago an wasn't sure. I have come to the conclusion that VDO must have redesigned their blower motor and now there is no way to attach the back of the 6 volt case to the 12V motor. Just my luck....guess if I want to stuff a 12V motor into an original 6V case I will need to find a different source for a motor. Hate to waste $68.00. Guess I have two choices...1) Install the 12V VDO motor as is with some slight modifications to the firewall blower motor seal, or 2) source a different blower motor.
