Windshield wiper motor wires

Some of them have a special resistance wire with asbestos insulation.
You would need to reuse the same wire replacing only the insulation.
I did it once back in the late 80s on or first 67 model. I got the insulation from a friend who was appliance repair man.
This may not apply to your question. I cant see the pic very well.

Does this look like what you were talking about? Some of the copper wires with the insulation coming off look like different gauges.

I haven't opened this up yet, but is it possible to replace the wires or cut them and put some shrink tubing on them? Or do they get too hot and need something else?

Thanks
