does anyone know what the specific differences are between FE/FC and FB Vacuum wipers are?
I'm trying to source an auxiliary motor drive unit and have come across a FE/FC one.

It looks to be much the same as an FB one apart from maybe the linkage pin size/type. The parts manual does list the two as different part numbers between the models. It also lists the linkage arm and pivot assemblies as different numbers also.
If anyone has some pictures of an FB drive unit and the linkages it would be appreciated.

I checked the two workshop manuals, and can see precious little difference (the info in the manuals however Is pretty sparse). The FB manual does warn though that: "Due to the similarity between the wiper auxiliary drive on "FC" and "FB" models, parts are identified by stamping the last two numbers of the part number on the crank, e.g. on "FB" 71."
Sounds like there is enough of a difference that they won't mix and match too well.
My FB has been converted long ago to electric, otherwise I'd break out the camera.
Cheers,

Thanks Harv.
I was wondering whether it maybe either the length/depth of the shaft (differences in firewall depth to windscreen depth between FB/FC, or maybe the sweep angles as the FB had wrap around screen as opposed to FC (possibly slightly longer drive piece on the auxiliary drive).
I swiped the post below off the OldHolden site - Ron may be able to help you:

I have heeps of those parts plus I do rebuild them, I used to work doing nothing else but repairing not only them but all Vacuum and air pressure wiper motors in fact I spent 20 years doing nothing else untill I retired not do it for fun.

Many thanks again Harv. I have emailed Ron and will let you know. I've also found a complete set up from a FB on Gumtree which should arrive in the next week.
Cheers.
