Haha, I was kinda worried when he said he had one, but it was $30. I've been after one for a while and compared to how much the other wiper parts have cost me I didn't flinch too much.

G'day Clay, thanks for the reply.

After a bit more digging I managed to find one from an Ebay seller (earlybitz1).

Surprised that Rare Spares don't have one in their catalogue.

Hi all,

I'm putting an EK (Delco) electric wiper into my FB, but unfortunately it's missing the rubber mounting seal. Does anybody have a source for a replacement, or a hack to make their own? I can get 6mm rubber from Clark Rubber but thought I'd ask before going down that route.

Cheers
Tim

Great saying!

I had a lay-back bench sitting in the shed for ages that I planned to re-upholster and install. The only problem with it, was that it didn't have a forward locking mechanism and if you had any kind of sudden stop or accident, it would collapse forwards, so I never installed it and sold it on.

I've had this car for almost 25 years. I'd always wanted an early Holden after growing up around them on the farm (EH/HG/HZ utes). This one's a 2 owner WA car and came with a heap of spares. Originally sold by Youngs Holden in Perth. (Bob Young married Miss Australia, Tania Verstack in 1963). I used...

I've used both, it's six of one and half a dozen of the other. Both ran fine but I couldn't get over having a jap name anywhere near my cars so I use Maxxis. Can I suggest you put a EH diff centre (3.55) in, it will run better on the highway. There's an App you can download with a windscreen heads ...
