Wiper Linkage Question

    Question on windshield linkages. I have 2 sets that I'm trying to make a good one out of.

    The pic below shows my two sets of the right side linkage. The post on the right has a bushing between the arm and the post which keeps it nice and tight. Unfortunately the burred end where the wiper arm attaches is bunged up, and so is the little square "key" off the post body.

    The post on the left has a nicer end and square key, but is missing the bushing between the arm and post body (you can see the gap.) This makes it kinda floppy on the arm.

    Any ideas for getting a bushing into the one on the left?

    What year is that off of, mine does not have the positive stop? Don't try removing the arm and welding it back together, It will melt the post. Don't ask me how i know. :rofl:

    I'm not sure on exact year, as these parts came with some extra w/s frames with a '58 CJ6 that I bought and sold.
