[TR] Wiper Motor Mounts

[Wbeech@flash.net]

Dave, 
BTDT, go to Lowe’s and buy a little bottle of 3 in 1 All Temp Silicone.  Wet down the bushings and they will slip in.   Still takes some gentle effort and kind words but it is the best I have found after trying WD40 and other lubricants and tearing up bushings.

Greetings all!

I have rebuilt the wiper motor on my TR3 and refinished the paint 
on the motor mounting bracket. As you many know, the bracket has 
three holes in it, into which rubber mounts are installed. The Moss 
illustration of these three mounts is at  
https://mossmotors.com/mounting-kit?assoc=41630  

Has anyone installed this kit, replacing the old, corroded rubber 
mounts? I got my old ones out easily enough but can't seem to 
come up with a way to install the new ones. The diameter of the 
rubber mount bushings vs. the diameter of the three holes gotta 
make you wonder how they get installed..... I've even tried dunking 
the rubber bushings in boiling water but no success. 

Ideas? Thoughts?  Thanks!!
