The easiest way is with a resistor to drop the voltage, such as a ballast resister used in the old Chryslers. I changed to a 12 volt motor years ago in a 50 Olds only to find I had opposite rotation when done. I ended up drilling the rivits out of the motor and swapping polarity inside the motor. I know you used to be able to buy some nice small round voltage resistors at part stores as the Chrysler ones are about 4 " long.
