Guys/Gals,

Just about to dive into this myself, a question in relation to the EK crank onto the VN wiper motor how is this achieved ?

I haven't got a wiper motor yet so was curious is it splined and tapered and what needs to be done to get it to fit ?

Thanks Greg

This has been a good read and will help me this afternoon, but I have some broken bushes on the pivot shafts and don’t seem to be able to find replacements anywhere.

Does anyone know where to get these bushes?

Both good ideas fellas, I reckon I’ll wrap some rubber round it and glue it in with silastic!

Job done!!!

Seems to fit well so job done.

Mine I went into rare spares and found a &*#@ rubber in one of the small packs that was a close fit and then some minor trimming.
