Steve, I vote yes. Details of this wiper setup came back to my mechanic as we were looking at this yesterday. He pointed out the bushing on my blade and showed me teflon? pads at the junction on some blades for other models.Steve Kram wrote:So is the consensus Brett Johnsons book (pg 57 ), that the T5 Roadsters had the SWF 2400 arms and blades fitted with screws on top, wrong?
So would delrin make good bushing material? The bushing would have to be split so it could be forced on, yet rigid enough to stay on, and have a low coefficient of friction.
Jon, you are right- no ancient bushing will hold up decades later.
