Wiper part source needed
I need to replace the bushings for the wiper motor transmission arms. These are the brass or bronze strips that fit over the ***** on the rotating shaft attached to the washer motor. They are about 3" long by about 3/8" wide with slots for the bolts at either end. The AIM does not show a separate part number for them.
I have checked major suppliers (Zip, Ecklers, Corvette Central, Dr. Rebuild, Mis America) on line catalogs with no results.
Anyone know where I can find these?

If you can't find the part new there are many good used ones out there, they are the same from 68-82, many vendors like paragon and many others will sell a good usable set. That is what I did at the time. I never saw this part in the "Help" repair part section, AL.

If you need any repairs to your wiper motor or washer see Danny at Wiper Works, he is one of the best, AL.
