47-55.1 Windshield wiper splines

[PDW HOTRODS]

I am missing the piece on my windshield wiper transmission that has the splines for the wiper arm. does anyone know of a replacement without having to get the whole transmission linkage kit. I found this, Windshield Wiper Knurl From 1/4" to 1/2" at Yogis street rod shop. That looks like what I need but hard to tell if it would work. Thanks.

I'm not sure on that one, I have the cable operated Specialty power windows wiper setup but never paid attention to the knurls. I'm not sure if they fit stock linkage/shafts or not.

I've got a set of linkage that I pulled off for someone who never got back to me if push comes to shove.

Go see Curtis at Curtis for Service on the south side of Sutherlin. If he doesn't have some, he knows who does.

He closed up and retired. I think everything he had is gone, he sold everything when he closed.

You can try one of these 2 places (both in Portland) but they may not put much effort into a small part.

Old Car Parts (503) 771-9416 They used to have a lot of AD truck parts but I haven't been there in years.

Dan's Classics (503) 234-6674 I thought this closed when Dan retired but it's still open. Dan used to keep tons of used parts in stock, I'm not sure about the new owners.

From Personal experience Old car parts in Portland is more expensive than buying new.

I found the pair I said I have.

The knurls look good.

Nice pictures!

I have found that a number of the truck parts also fit Corvettes. Here's an ebay auction for 1953-62 Vette wiper knurls. From what I can see, as long as the OD of the stud fits inside the knurl then the knurl should work. Personally I might consider drilling partway into the stud so the setscrew has a nice surface to seat in. Maybe these parts are the same as what you've already located so you can get them for less?

To be honest, If I manage to be able to afford a fountain pop after paying for the postage and tape for what I quoted him total I'll be a happy camper.

I took them off to sell to some guy on Facebook a few months ago and they never got back to me. Truth be known, If I cleared out the three sheds I have stuff in, I could probably find two or three more pairs of them.

Check your pm for the tracking number.

After finding out that my long skinny box up on the shelf was a short skinny box with an led off road light in it that I have been wandering where it went I had to make a box and am more than a bit box making challenged.

Meant to reply to this but it slipped my mind.

I was only referring to the item mentioned in the original post. I think it's good when folks on the forum are willing to offer spare parts for a fair price. It's frustrating when the only parts you can find are overpriced and low quality reproductions.

That was my original belief, you don't always have to get a bunch of money out of something, If I had wanted that I would have advertised them on the truck group on FB.

Meanwhile even after the postage for priority mail and a roll of tape at ACE hardware I can fill my Bubba mug a few times and he should be installing the wiper pieces.
