Greetings,
I wanted to reuse my original wheel boxes but...
I would need to replace the splined "bushing" on the end of the shaft. Does anyone know if this part is available for replacement?
The part I'm referencing is the lower right of the attached picture.

Thank you in advance.

I have never seen pieces of these parts available. You might want to consider looking for a good used wheel box. Then you can either use that or take parts off it to repair yours.
i would add that as hard as this part is to get to, I would never want to skimp on putting in whatever is the best .

My Jag parts manual lists all the individual bits....but no where can you FIND any of them. Heck, unless you buy a new wiper "system" you can't even buy a wheelbox.

That said, Trico used to make replacement parts like that. I used to have a pile of them. Setscrew mount (which worked good on vacuum wipers, but frozen blades hit the switch and it's gonna slip).

Wonder if you can remove one from anything else with same OD and press it on?
 
Thanks for the replies!
Are there any suggestions on where to purchase quality reproductions?
 
I rely on THE ROADSTER FACTORY the-roadster-factory.com for the best quality. However even they occasionally sell some bad parts. But they do stand behind what they sell.
 
Marv Gruber has any used part you need. You can PM him directly. I would recommend a good used OEM over the parts coming out of the suppliers lately.
