    Hey all,

    I'm having a little difficulty tracking down a replacement wiper arm socket (from motor arm to wiper) and I haven't yet found one that matches what I have on my car. I've found replacements advertised for Camaro/Chevelle but they are shorter in length and do not have slots for adjustment like the socket I have in my car. The issue is that the socket is worn to where it will not retain the ball on the wiper motor arm. I have a parts book but I haven't found a part # just yet. Ideas?

    Car in question is a 1969 Skylark, disappearing wipers

    I had the same problem years ago and tried to ‘engineer’ the Help Rack stuff to work, which it sorta did, but wound up finding good used ones. If Todd doesn’t have a source for them, they don’t exist new). We have a member (Cole) in Canada who’s parting out two or three ‘68s right now; contact him. He’s a good guy!

    I have a complete Wiper Transmission assembly from a 1970 GS that I would sell pretty cheap.
    IF interested just give me a shout.

    No wiper Arms, just all the Transmission Linkage that is inside of the Cowl. . . .
