Wiper Motor Linkage

I need some help with the vacuum wipers in my 50. I sent the motor off for rebuilding and forgot how it went back together. I may also be missing a piece or two. What bushing am I missing to join the motor and the passenger side linkage?

Thanks
Craig

Looks like a simple rubber grommet

Thanks for the picture - that helps. Actually, I just bought that piece but what threw me is that the stud is a hex, the bushing is round, and the linkage hole is round. It doesn't seem right that a round bushing rides on a hex stud.

I saw that in the picture, it doesn't seem right. What is on the other side of the hex stud? The clip is meant to go in a groove in a plain shaft.

Oddly at the end of the hex portion is a small extension that accepts the clip. There is nothing on the opposite from the hex shaft. The hex side has to be the driver.

That is odd. I wonder if the hex is supposed to spin? I just can't think of an advantage to doing it with the hex, tho.

Vacuum wiper motors: 7C-17508 = 1948/50 / 1C-17508 = 1951/52 / BAAA-17508-A = 1953/55 / B6TZ-17508-A = 1956

1948/52 linkage is different than 1953/55 / 1956 linkage, due to its 'wrap around' windshield, is 1956 only.
