</div>Bob's right, converting to the '70 style complete wiper assembly is<br>
the VERY best, most reliable, fix for this problem. If you do this,<br>
you should take everything apart and lube the shafts and bushings<br>
before you install this system, just because this job will never<br>
again be this easy to do.<br>
<br>
Bob, which engine seals did you use? I can't think of anything that's<br>
about right, other than the O-rings for between the case halves.<br>
Those aren't flat, so that's not an ideal solution. I probably have<br>
correct wiper seals of both styles.<br>
