Thanks to all who already responded below

What are options for vehicle glass, all of it ? Does some fit better than others, different tint or date coding capability ?



Merry Christmas and Happy New Year


On my 70 V code restoration I’m looking for some assistance

Where to get the wood grain wheel restored

Does anyone make replacement bushings for wiper mechanicals. My main drive pin bushing is wore out

Much appreciated

Mike

Doug Lepak does awesome work, another to consider is Dave Tays, it's been several years now but he did a few e-body rimblow wheels for me in the past.

Not sure if they sell parts outright but for the wiper bushings you could check with:

Sylvain Gaucher in Canada does: cuda71sg@hotmail.com He sells them on eBay too. Make sure you pick the right one, there's 2 different thicknesses, and get the installation punches. He's got a YouTube video installing them with his punches. I also have a phone number for him but that I don't want to make it public. He used to have a pic of his business card, w/email address, in his eBay listings until they made him stop doing that. I bought the set of 4 from him but haven't got around to installing them yet.
