Can anybody show me what I need to fasten the wiper post assembly to the body - apparently these parts were lost in my "basket case" that was transferred among three owners (don't ever assume "everything is there"). Anybody have these parts? If not, I'll fashion something, now that I've got the wiper motor running well. Also, any good sources for wiper blades and arms for 115? Thanks all - this forum has been invaluable to me!

Two words. Pot Metal and Easily broken. Especially when disassembling a parts car on a 100 degree day with dehydration and mosquito's threatening your life.

Thanks, that's what I suspected. Thus no old spares, I guess. I think I'll fashion something out of some thick aluminum I have. Now I have to get the proper wiper arms/blades...

its not so much the thickness of the part, its getting it in there to still allow full swing of the wiper pivot. I have simply used a thin nyloc nut when I get too frustrated with the tight clearance of the pot metal spanner...

As to finding the needed parts,check out Tuck211113 on Ebay no.121564098719 who has a pair of them new. These are his last set.

Thanks "convert" - of course somebody beat me to them!
