Post by: Bob Morey on November 21, 2015, 04:32:35 PM
Has anyone ever sourced replacement bushes for the wiper assembly on an Alfetta?

The Alfetta is starting to become an alternative parts sourcing from other makes and models. Im sure theres an equivalent out there and I too will need to rejuvenate my rebuild. You wouldnt have a photo of the bush at all?

Is this what your talking about?

An off the cuff bush, I've found these bushings which where near impossible unoptanium for my spiders gear linkage system, could they fit the bill?

The bushes shown on the Alfa BB are the same as mine though that post is about dust covers.  My bushes don't have dust covers.  I don't think the repair clips will help as my bushes/pins are worn.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Try Richard Anderson at Avanti Spares in Brisbane - he wrecked some very low kilometer 1.8 Alfettas many years ago and may have complete assemblies
