Hey everyone, I am servicing my wiper linkage before I put my dash back in the Valiant. Each pivot point has 2 felt washers/ bushings, 6 total. Does anyone know where I can purchase these or has anyone used a substitute? Thanks in advance.

Thing is, Not every owner is familiar with the pre 68 assembly. 67 and earlier have bronze bushings and felt washers in linkage instead of plastic bushings. In a earlier thread the felt washers were found to be generic. Google search found them in various sizes.Mike, those are pivot seals. Hes looking for the felt bushings. Our 67 has them also, would like to know as well.
I don't know if Jim @ DMT will make these items that are generic. Good luck though.DMT does not have them. I am going to give them the dimensions best as I can to what I have left. Mine are really worn. These are about the size of a penny and are made of felt material kinda like the pads you can put on furniture legs to keep from scuffing the floor. Very close to the link that RedFish posted. Thanks RedFish.
Probably not. If I can find a suitable replacement I will pass the info onto him in case he wants to pursue it. These have lasted 55 years. Not a high dollar ticket item by far. I've got 2 other cars I will replace them on.I don't know if Jim @ DMT will make these items that are generic. Good luck though.
