Hopo Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Hi all, Finally got the body back for my 71 240 & have started the fun of reassembling. The wiper arm pivot mounts are worn though & as the original are not available from Nissan has anyone got some suggestions? I can only think of drilling them out & fitting a Teflon tube to act as a bearing sleeve. Any suggestions would be great. Cheers Hopo Quote
Coops Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 This is how I dealt with mine - Removed the welds that join the arms to the pivot rod and punched rods out. Local engineering shop machined rods back to an even diameter then bushed the mounts to suit. Rewelded. Was relatively cheap. Quote
Hopo Posted April 27, 2013 Author Posted April 27, 2013 Hi Coops, Thanks for the feedback, sounds like the way to go. Cheers Hopo Quote
