[Healeys] Wiper Motor Bushings

[WILLIAM B LAWRENCE]

I’ve had some success with the harder rubber compounds softening them with heat. Try 10 seconds in the microwave. May have increase the time, but it doesn’t take much.

As many different solutions as there are list members.  Other than finding the supplier that provides the soft rubber bushings, I like the idea of the diagonal slice.  I just don't want to spend all afternoon on a job that should take only 15 or 20 minutes to accomplish.  Believe me, my head is swimming from figuring out the wiring.  I think I have it kind of figured out, but I don't know for sure if the smoke will escape the wires the first time I turn the key.  As luck would have it, my kids ell me when I was at the parts store one afternoon while working on the MGB GT a guy in a F350 Ford truck stopped at the driveway and wanted to talk about the three British cars I have.  Turns out he lives in my housing tract and from what he says he worked for LUCAS back in the day.  I have yet to meet him, but I could sure use his help.  Most of my local club members are a two hour drive away. (San Diego AH club)  Good thing I have you guys to rely on.

..or make the hole one drill bit size larger..or two. Silicon spray very helpful.

Here's my experience trying to get those rock hard bushings into the holes on my BT7.  First, no amount of lube will allow it to happen.  I asked this same question on this forum about 2 years ago.  Got many of the same response - lots of lube, yada yada yada.  Finally, one poster gave me the solution.  Slice them open on one side.  But, make the cut at an angle - not parallel to the hole.  This way you can screw them into the mounting hole. Using some lube will also help. I recommend K-Y jelly.

Can someone tell me how to get those humongous rubber bushings in place for my BN2 wiper motor?  I did it for the Bugeye 20+ years ago, but for the life of me I can't remember how I did it.
