Can't seem to find windshield wiper linkage...

[AeroMoto]

...1973. Need the linkage from the motor and the longer one between the wipers. But my google-fu is sucking tonight. All I can seem to find are ones from 76 on. Anyone know where I can get one?

Try QuadraTrac or 4 Wheel Parts, Rod

I've tried both of those sites and they only have from 76 up. I wonder what the difference is between the two. Anyone know?

A pic or 2 would help. I have some 76 and up stuff here to compare it to. Id call here. They can probably help you out. :

I have been following this thread as I want to change my 1967 CJ5 to bottom mount wipers.I tried to contact Georges jeep parts and it seems that the web site is not functioning and the phone is disconnected.Would anyone here know him or know if this is temporary situation.As has been noted the parts for the early ('69-'75) wipers don't seem to be available.
Can the later linkage or pivots be modified to work.I have a 1969 sitting here to measure off of and compare parts so I'm thinking it is possible.
Anyone out there that has actually done the conversion have any tips.

thanks, mike

Some of those parts are on E-Bay right now............on a 69-75 Windshield the long rod is 27.5" C/C and the short rod that connects to the long is 8.0" C/C.
There are some aftermarket people selling the Rod set and claim they fit various years which may mean they are the same or have two sets of holes in them?

I bought the short arm from him about 2 years ago. Had to call as the website didnt take orders. It does work perfectly, but I cant comment on if he is still open or not.

Terry, thanks for the info. I'm guessing they all come from our favorite supplier.Read some reviews on quality.Not much of a surprise there.Anyway I think I will order the kit and make it work.My main concern is getting some good wiper pivots.I can make the rest myself if I have to.
Thanks again, Mike
