We all know whats happening. We have spies everywhere️

I know about the bet.... I figure that you've been busy with Corowa, Cooma & the van.... So was wondering about the progress...

Hi.
Stripped down wiper, windscreen section.
Do you grease or oil the drive spring and wiper shaft. If so what is best.
Made a cap for driver end that protrudes about two inches out of the end cover, collecting dust and dirt.
Almost like something was forgotten at the end of design. Used a small dome tent pole joiner. Pics to come.
Had a look at oiling spigot bush today. Adice given was put your finger over one end, fill with oil, push thumb down to force out through wall of bush.
I must be a Land Rover Owner, who has very small fingers !!!!!
Have old style film canister. was thinking fill with oil and let soak for a week or two ???? what grade oil should I use.
Thanks for comments.

I've always just used engine oil - whatever has been laying around. Drop it in a container and let it soak overnight.

I was told to soak new bush for 24 hrs in 90 gear oil on holdens if that helps

Place spigot bush onone thumb & fill it with engine oil ethe using other thumb press against the other end of the bush . The pressure will force the oil through thr paws of the bush . Do this untill the oil starts oozing out the sides of the bush . Thats the way we did it when I worked as a mechanic,
