I initially used a window regulator as a center motor. I attached a 3/16 rod to the existing buckets using some old sockets and the original roll pins. (The original motors can always be put back in). The regulator was too fast I even tried a resistor but it didn't work that well.
I decided to try a small 12 v dc 3 rpm. I made a Z bracket and connected the motor with a hose clamp (for now)

I then connected the motor to the 3/16 rod using whatever I could find in the "Drawer".(I will secure them properly with the right connections when i get a chance).

As far as the switch, I simply used a 2 way spring loaded switch and placed it in The regular headlight override spot. The lights dont rotate when you pull the light switch, but the indicator light still works. I just flip them up then turn lights on.
