MK1 to MK3 Wiper motor swap - plastic rear to Mk3 motor??????

Trying to change the MK1 front wiper motor to MK3 wiper motor following online guides.
The guides say "remove and swap motor backplates" - but the MK3 motor I have has a plastic cover and no way of bolting the MK1 back plate to it………. thoughts please…..!?

MK3 part number - 1H2 955 113A

I had exactly the same issue…
Here's how I resolved it…. https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/forum/index.php?page=topicview&id=projects%2Fyour-mk1-golfs_2%2F83-gti-now-mot-d&start=20#post_1635733

Very many thanks.

I have today sourced another MK3 motor with a metal back plate.  I will then have the option to either do as you have and bolt in the entire MK3 motor - and make a bracket like your excellent example (!) - or follow the chap on the YouTube video and swap the metal backplate.  Only thing I note on the video is that he had to cut a small section off the mounting bracket on the car to get the motor in (as it sits on the right on the MK3 mod)  Anyway - very many thanks.

By the way I have found the same issue with my battery moving around in the tray - even when the clamp is tight.
