Windshield wiper Bushings Replacement!!
 
5 Attachment(s)
Hi guys,

I have made the windshield washer bushings and they work great.
3D printed out of PET+ which is Fire retardant, strong and flexible and chemical resistant.

You can see a video here: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v...type=3&theater

This is a link to the headlight bushing thread.

The headlight is 18 and the wiper 15. They both come with 2 spare bushings. Forum rules I can't post a link but you can search on ebay 79-85 1st gen rx7 headlight bushings + 2 spares. You can see both kits at the bottom of the page. Thanks

is there a tutorial somewhere on how to replace the wiper bushings?

kutukutu1 03-27-15 06:12 PM

I include instructions, but you do need the service manual to remove the mechanism from the car if you do not know how to do it.
You can find the FSM at foxed.ca
You can also see some videos of me installing the arms on the mechanism on my page.

kutukutu1 03-28-15 05:04 PM

Yes I've seen the ones from New Zealand. They look great too.

Just ordered a set of these bushings, now I've just got to get my wiper arms free moving again ^_^

kutukutu1 06-19-15 02:13 PM

Thank a lot for the order. These should ship out tomorrow morning.


Thank you all for the support and the input to improve the product. If you have had issues with the wiper bushings and have not contacted me, please do so and we can get it fixed.

I bought a set a couple of weeks ago,

Thanks for making the effort, any source for our hard to find parts is greatly appreciated!!

kutukutu1 06-20-15 01:33 AM

Thanks again. I love the 1st gen, the more of them we keep out there running the better.

tried to purchase both but ebay added 34$ for shipping and import charges... can I just sent you a paypal payment for these?

Where are you located? If I am not mistaken, you're going to get import charged no matter what. In terms of international shipping cost I usually let ebay take care of it since they will complete the paperwork and I don't have to deal with it, but pm me an address and I will check directly with the post office on a cost. I offer free shipping in the states, but international varies too much in cost.
Thanks

Go to ebay and just search for 1st gen rx7 windshield wiper bushings. I cannot post a link, forum rules. My user on ebay is kutukutu1, that way you know it's the right one. Although I am the only one.

FBorDie 06-25-15 11:38 PM

I ran into a little issue, I sent an email to the address listed on the business card you provided. :\

andernamen 07-19-15 04:46 PM

Are these available?

kutukutu1 07-21-15 12:53 PM

Please wait till mid next week. I should have them up again with an improved design and material. I will inform everyone on the thread when i have them back up again. Sorry.

rotaryboy23 07-21-15 03:02 PM

No apology necessary! Just ecstatic that someone is bothering to do this! Much appreciated!

Everyone, I know some of you are waiting for the wiper bushings to go back up for sale. They will be a bit delayed, the thermocouples in my printer failed and I am waiting for new ones to arrive. I will post again when the bushings are up again. Thanks.

kutukutu1 08-04-15 01:18 PM

Update- I ordered the thermocouples and the company did not tell me they were in back order. I am still waiting to receive them. Hang tight, i will let everyone know as soon as i am back up and running.

All, I am sorry to say that my printers motherboard fried today. I will not be able to provide bushings any longer for the time being. I do not know when I will be able to get the printer back up, the motherboard is rather expensive. I am sorry for those that were waiting for a set. Whenever I get it back up I will post again.

rotaryboy23 08-06-15 04:06 PM

Can you post the CADs?

kutukutu1 08-11-15 08:23 AM

I bought the motherboard already. Should get it on Friday and hope to have it all for sale again on Monday. thanks

Hey all, I put up 2 sets of wiper bushings. They are reduced price because I am still working on a redesign. One has sold already so there is only one left. If you need a set quickly look it up on ebay by searching 1st gen 79-85 windshield washer mechanism bushings.
