Any one know where i can buy EK wiper linkage grommets/eyelets, rare spares only has them from FX to FB, i've checked the EK linkages against the FC ones and the holes in the FC ones are slightly bigger.  Pedro |

Check ebay, there was a bloke I worked with to design and make up some sets.
Alternatively, Rares have a nylon bush from a Ford door hinge that does the job perfectly, I used them on the black sedan.

Thanks for the help guys, just rang the bloke at vintage auto's but only got an answering machine so i'll have to wait and see if he rings back, I just checked the size of the hole with verniers and it is 1mm smaller on the EK ones, only thing is all the linkages i have are the same length just different shapes even the ones from the EK spindle/drive arms, I checked them and they seem to be long enough though??

Rares have a nylon bush from a Ford door hinge that does the job perfectly The bloke didn't ring me back yesterday or maybe i missed it as i went down the coast in the late arvo to drop the sender and fuel gauge off, anyway would you remember what model F**d the bushes were off Stinky and i'll just order them through Rares.

Just did a bit of research and there are three f**d types but Rares only sell ones for XR-XC, which are the same as FX-FJ, HQ-WB and LH-UC Torana rear, so i presume they must be the ones you mean Stinky, i ordered some but they are only $4.40 so it's not a problem if they are wrong anyway.

According to this post - http://fefcholden.org.au/forum/index.php/topic,7714.0.html they are XD-XF  Ladderclaw is the guy (who could forget that name) I was dealing with, worth getting on to if you can. |

Thanks Wayne, Stinky, i've already ordered them so i'll just have to wait and see, they look the same in the pics just the base looks thicker on the XD ones, the ones on e-bay were a lot cheaper but the guy was away for awhile so i ordered them through rares which ended up being over $20, if they aren't right i'll get on to the other guy again.

Those F**d door hinge bushes were no good Stinky, the outside could be filed to fit but the inside was too loose, the guy at Vintage auto repros never answers his phone and never rings back when i leave messages so that is another dead end, might have to take you up on that offer of making some Pete if that is alright, can you do stuff that small.
