Default Wiper Door Mount Bolts Bubba Fix

Hi, It must be about 5 years ago now that I posted about this here, at the time a very kind forum member supplied me with some brass bushings that could be fitted into the bubba fix over bored wiper door bolt mounts. These worked great and once fitted allowed the std. door mount bolts to be used again. I know its a long shot but, if this guy is still about I would love to hear from him since my friend here in UK has the same problem with his newly aquired 72.

Thanks

Graeme

I bought the same thing a year ago or so, and was sent two sets, I will try to find them for you............as it turns out, I only had to use the screws that were sent; my holes apparently were not oversized, but the vent was still being held on by ( ) small aluminum wood screws.

oh, sorry, just reread your post, think we might be talking about two different things....

Just a thought, over here, most hardware stores stock various sized brass bushings,, you could try looking there if you don't get a response.. G'Luck,, C.
