47heaven Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 The round pivot that comes up from underneath the cowl, in which the wiper arm is pushed onto on my P15, is stripped. The grooves no longer hold the arm on and it flies off when I turn the wipers on. Does anyone have any spares they could sell or part with? If not, where can I get one? I think the round piece with the grooves comes off, so I would probably just need that. Also, the new wiper arms I got from the Early Ford guy just don't seem to have enough tension in the arms to make the wipers wipe the water off evenly. These don't have the regular springs in them. Instead, the tension is set up kind of how a leaf spring is...if that makes sense. Anyone have any ideas how to put more tension on those? Quote
Young Ed Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Darin I looked and could't find a part like you are describing. Anyone got a pic to give me a better idea? I'm pretty sure I still have the entire wiper system from my parts car but nothing fit my idea of what he's looking for. Quote
Normspeed Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 I believe it's the pivot assembly, the part that has splines on it. The wiper arm pushes down onto it. Quote
HalfdollarMayflower Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Should be part # 1232592 (for the left side, not sure about the right) Will check to see if some of the NOS dealers have it... Edit: Valley Vintage Auto Parts carrys it, 35 bucks. www.vvap.com (440) 355-4085 Quote
HalfdollarMayflower Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Actually, hold on...that might not be right. Lemme keep checking Edit: That's the best I can come up with...anyone have a parts book? Quote

47heaven Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Posted January 8, 2008 i have one or two...but i am not sure of the year..bill Wow...I wouldn't know what years would be interchangeable. You don't have any idea what cars they came off of? Quote
homebrewer Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 How about placing the wiper arm on and then drilling through and tapping the stripped piece. Then screw it on with a small (6/32-8/32) SS screw? Or just JB weld it? Quote
