Hello all,
I have a bit of a problem, my wiper spindle bushes are so worn that every time I close my bonnet (hood) the wiper arm gets trapped under the edge of the Bonnet.
can you get replacement bushes??
Thanks

yes the three bolt assembly is replaceable but no idea of cost from the stealers, I have always got them off of a scrapper, Rick

I am pretty sure they are quite expensive. I bought some for a Carlton twenty years ago and they were over a £100 back then!

A used pair is going to be the sensible option.

Best bet is to get a complete linkage from a scrapped motor!

The linkage on my T2 has been held together with zip ties for the past 1,5 years - no issues since, and that in rainy Belgium :)

A car made from zip ties would be the thing, completely rustproof and indestructible :)
