KE20 Bonnet Wiper Pivots


Banjo

Recommended Posts

Was working on a fellow Rollaclub members KE20 at the weekend, with a windscreen wiper issue, where the wipers were tracking everywhere, except where they were suppose to go.

What a bugga of a thing to work on, unless you are a midget, with everything hidden up in behind the dash cluster, unlike the later KE3X series, where the wiper motor & associated rods are all accessible from under the bonnet.

Anyway the wiper pivot bushes were very dry & worn.  The knurled metal pivot points onto which the wiper arms attach, were very corroded, to the point where there was almost no evidence of the fine splines on the tapered pivots.

Question:  Does anyone know if it is possible to get new KE20 wiper pivot assemblies ?   Has anyone come across any out of the Thai or other SE Asian aftermarket area ?

I'v a had a quick look on the net, and can't see anything first up. Is it possible to adapt pivots from a later or other make of car or model Rolla, that could do the job ?

Glad to receive any suggestions, from anyone whose been through this painful exercise previously.

Cheers Banjo
