Wiper motor
Do'es anyone know where to get the small o-rings for the wiper motor shafts? They appear to be approx. 1/4 1nch. I have hundreds of o-rings but the diameter of the rubber they're made from is to fat to go down into the grooves on the body. I have tried every parts house, auto parts, and plumbing supply, and transmission shop I can think of, all with no luck. Thanks for any help. I bought a pair of factory rebuilds at the midwest jeep show in Jeff City Mo. last fall for a good price, but I would still like to get the old set going. Thanks for any help.

Here's a more informative version of Rick's photo.
Had you typed "wiper spacer" into the web site's search function and selected the "Technical Board" Rick's post comes up at the top of the second page of search results.
Had you enterred just "spacer" in the seach block and the same "Technical" board selection Rick's post comes up halway down the first page.Technical Knowledge Base M38A1 Wiper motor spacers

Billy Bob,
You are looking for a .048 thick O-ring with a .25" ID.
I found very few close to that size in y aircraft charts:
MS28775-010 is .070 thick and ID .239
AN6227B5 is .0625 thick and ID .25
