I'll check in the garage this weekend. I think I can assist you. I'll send an email with the pics of what I have.

chef

Checked the garage tonight. I thought I save the wiper parts off of a parts car. Must have only kept the wiper motor. The was all I found related to wipers. Sorry for the false alarm..

In that case chef is still looking for his part. Is there anyone out there that can help?

I was told by "The Wiperman"that the pre-war wiper links attached to the motor shaft with no brass bushing so the hole was small...so what I must have here is 1 much older link and trans,so I will remove 1 of the brass bushings and use some washers to get a snug fit and problem should be solved..I would guess...chef-

The wiper towers were the same from 1941-48 (except some had the plumbing for the washer)

But the links were changed a few times,Twice in 1942 alone.

The 1941 and early 1942 had a small hole and no rubber bushing.

the late 1942 and early 1946 had no bushing but a different size hole.

All late 1946 thru 1948 used the larger hole with a rubber bushing.

The size and type of the pins on the wiper motor lever determined the hole size.

So a 1941 wiper motor could be installed on a 1948 using the 1941 links.

Sounds as if you solved your problem \:\)
