The
65-67 1500/1600 do not share the same design wiper pivots
as the 67.5 1600/2000.The earlier cars use a pivot that
has a shorter; rounded off connecting link. The 67.5 has
a connecting link that is squared off. The big difference
is the difference in length. I have never tried switching
the pivots, connecting links and drive arms from one car
to another; that MAY work if all matching parts are kept
together.
The
pivots themselves are not designed to be removed from the
connecting links; (the little bars that are 2.7 or 2.85
inches long) but could be by someone qualified and
patient enough. The retaining metal would have to be
ground off and then your old one would have to be
probably brazed on. Then you could use a 65-67 pivot on a
67.5 and vice versa.
Pivots
can be hard to find in any condition. We list parts in
all kinds of conditions. What is one person's garbage is
another persons work in progress. It can be very
difficult to remove these successfully from a car.
Sometimes cutting the nut off is required. The bond that
develops between the nut and the housing I wish I could
patent.
It
also can be difficult to deal with the little snap rings
that hold the pivot connecting link arms to the wiper
motor linkage arms; so when possible we leave those
connected and sell them with the arms. Unfortunately
there is a right and a left arm so you may have to remove
the arm and reinstall your old one anyway if you want
that particular pivot. As with the pivots (when they have
the little connecting link on them); the arms come in
65-67 and 67.5 styles. The right side arm attaches
directly to the wiper motor. The left side arm attaches
to yet another 2-3" link which attaches to the wiper
motor.
Now
what's WEIRD
about all of this is that I have seen cases where the
pivots with the 2.125" long arm are attached to the 65-67
long motor arms and the shorter 2" arms on the 67.5 long
motor arms; or even mixed. Previous owner/mechanic goofs?
Or does this difference in length matter? I would think
there would be some problem but who knows.
