Wiper wheel box bush?

#1 Post by shaunroche »

I'm after the two rubber grommets that go onto the wiper spindles....

Is this really what I want as they seem very expensive!! Any alternative suppliers?

Come and see some pretty shoddy, slow driving of a really well prepared competition Sprint here!

If what you want is the seal that goes between the nut and the bulkhead then that is the correct part number according to my Sprint parts list

But that price is daylight robbery! Try ringing Fitchetts!

Depends how original you want it. Try rubber washer suppliers on the web, you should find something similar. I am just pulling mine apart as well but think mine may be ok to re-use.
