Still looking for some of these linkages to adapt into wiper arm linkages for the Country Buggy.

Any of these out there.?

Email or PM me if you can assist.

Bill you can buy carburettor links at the auto parts resellers or carby specialists,they are a bit more substantial than the type 3 links. I used to buy them from North Coast Auto Accessories in Taree when I had the workshop.If you can't find any let me know. Cheers Les

I did exactly the same thing with my country buggy, i used the brass carb linkage ball joints, much stronger than the type three linkages, i also have a type 34 and could not find any new type three joint , so i converted my linkage set up to the spring loaded carb linklages, these are the joints i used, they have the smallest ball at 1/4".

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I had bought a couple of brass carb ball studs but they were 6mm and I wanted to use wiper blades that were closer to 5 mm wide

I will probably go for the 1/4" ball studs and brass linkages as it all gets to hard to get a "perfect" replacement.
