Ok gents looking for recommendations. My wiper situation going on with my 120 is a mess. I have the vacuum motor, but i am missing the piece the wiper arms mount to, and the linkages that connect them to the vacuum motor under the dash. Anybody got a suggestion?

Good afternoon...I would suggest a call to Kantar and Max, and also The Flackmaster and Packard Seattle. That will make a good start...if one of these folks don't have what you need, they may be able to point you in the correct direction...Good Luck...Ernie in Arizona

Good linkages are bit hard to find due to the manner that they come through the cowl. I don't have any right now. They tend to rust/seize, etc. My recommendation is to review the offerings for electric wiper adaptation, much more reliable and effective. And if you really start looking at the cost for original minimally functional parts...well, you get my point.
Or do what I do....no wipers. And I've driven many miles in the rain without wipers too...Rain-X is a good thing.
I once drove an Auburn with electric wipers so noisy that I actually preferred no wipers at all! (I put that in for my own sanity...forum member PToet knows exactly what I'm talking about...I think we both still have nightmares thinking about that sound)
