1960 chevy truck wiper motor mounting grommets

[doobiebro]

Can anybody help me locate the wiper motor mounting grommets for my 60 chevy? I've searched the web and all I see are the 62-84 years. Although my rubber pieces are rotted, they don't look nothing like the 62-84 years. The barrel located in the middle of the bolt is actually threaded. Any solutions out there that will work for my application? Thank you in advance.

Hopefully someone comes along with a source to a genuine replacement part. In the event that someone doesn't, I have a potentially novel solution for you... Though I can't remember the project, I had a similar need and found Subaru Valve Cover grommets to be a useful solution. They have a metal face that makes a good washer and then a rubber backing similar to the grommet you showed for the original.

Here is an example:

I bought mine from Bill's Truck Shop in Ontario, Canada.

Part number 6-405-MK, page 32 of their Catalog.

SkinnyG I will get online and check availability and shipping. Maybe order some other parts to make it worth it. Never ordered anything from Canada. I wonder what the shipping will cost and how long that can take. Thank You.

Shipping from out east to out west was usually a week within Canada.

I've ordered tons from the States into Canada, and it takes about a week or two.

UPS has bizarre added shipping/handling/brokerage fees that can make things more expensive than you'd expect. Something small like the bushings should fall below a brokerage fee minimum. I hope.

Oh!

I remembered what it is that you want - it's called a Well Nut. I'm sure you can source some locally or State-side, now that you have the name.
