Todays Project - What did you do today?

[rleete]

Little project I have had in process for a decade.  I'm using this GM windshield wiper motor for it, and it has this particular connector.  I want to remove this to prevent anything getting inside and shorting the connection points, as well as make it easier to attach the wires for the speed control.

   

Finding the right mating connector is easy.  What is not, is paying more for that little piece of plastic and some wires than I paid for the whole motor.  As you can see, it's riveted on, as is the cover plate it's attached to.  I didn't want to drill out the rivets for the plate and have to figure out how to reattach it.  I didn't want to drill out the rivets for the connector, as that would let the other half of the rivet fall into the gears.  So, I made this very crude annular cutter which was simply cut on the bandsaw:

   

It worked very well, as you can see.  Underneath were the connections for the park and slow speed operation.  I don't need this; it was simple enough to pry off.

   

That hole was simply covered with some aluminum duct tape.

   

I cut off the connector, leaving the wires which will be connected to the speed controller and power supply.  Any guesses as to what I'm making?
