Wiper motor linkage

[charltonchestus]

Hi Chaps, The wiper motor linkage on my Carlton 1991 GSI is worn so drops off the wiper motor ball joint (great on M25 last night in heavy rain.... not).  It seems to have just worn the inner ring.  Vauxhall parts bin not available according to Vauxhall main agents.  Do any of you have one laying around that you don't need?
Cheers in advance.

A common problem.

If you dont get the part quickly you can drill and tap a small hole in the middle and put a bolt and washer on to stop the rod from being able to fall off.
Itll still have play but at least you wont loose the wipers until you get a new part or whole wiper assembly.

Ive done it myself.
Ive had 3 Carltons with worn wiper linkages.

Sounds like the best option, cheers.  I'll give it a try this weekend.
