Where to find 72 CJ5 Wiper Linkage
 

Could anyone point me in the direction of a company that sells a wiper
linkage kit for a 72 CJ5- all the sites I have found only list them for 76
and later, and neither Quadratec or 4WD could recommend anyone who might
carry this. Thanks

Ben

You rolled and threw away your old windshield before you salvaged
all the parts?

Re: Where to find 72 CJ5 Wiper Linkage
 

nope- the Jeep sat for quite a while before I got it- the linkage is shot,
and I want to replace it when I replace the windshield frame next week- for
some reason I've decided that even though it's a Jeep it might be nice to
have some working wipers- call me crazy....

I think Ben was looking for the whole thing, like the pivot cranks
and push/pull bars, parts numbers: 4, 5, and 6:

You can buy new flanged bronze bushings at your local bearing
distributer. The metal linkages should still be fine. I couldn't
find a source when I did mine either (1973 CJ5). The new frame I
bought did not have the windshield wiper pivot holes in the same place
as the original frame. I had to leangthen one linkage and shorten the
other to make them work. Keep your old stuff until you get your new
stuff done.
