windshield wipers

I have an 82 Z28 in the uk.

I have a problem !

It has no wiper transmission at all !!!!

I need to find the arms, pivots, wiper arms, blades and motor.

I cannot find them in the uk - the ones I have found are a different shape mount for the bulkhead panel.

Is there anywhere else I can try - is it the same as any other vehicle at all?

Parts are very limited over here

Hope you guys can help ?????

Re: windshield wipers

You've got Ebay. Should be able to find what you're looking for on there easily.

Re: windshield wipers

Can't find anything on eBay in the uk !
The 82 cars seem to have a different setup to later ones.
I got one from a 84 and it's totally different !

I'm in Surrey in the uk ????

......... don't look at the UK listings and find someone who ships internationally from the US.

Re: windshield wipers

I've tried
No one seems willing to ship or doesnt have all the parts I need.

The hardest bit is the motor as I dont know what it should look like !

I think 82/83 cars where different to the rest - the bulkhead on my 82 car is different to my 84 car !

Any ideas where I can find some facts?

Re: windshield wipers

Not going to be any Big help, but here's my experience as far as motors.
Last spring I went to NAPA to get a new motor. The guy asked if it was a
" hidden or open motor ". Since I didn't know, he said to look at the firewall. A
" hidden motor " will mount **behind** the firewall under the plastic screen that covers the assembly that is in the cowl. An open motor wil be attached to the firewall just above the driver side valve cover.
Then he asked " how many wires on the connection ".
Again, I didn't know. I told him it has some wiper delay selections. But I don't remember how many.

So I went home a checked it and called him with the info.

I do not know how to determin which you would need. Sorry for that.

I hope someone can give more direct and detailed info!!!

Re: windshield wipers

Beg and plead with a seller to ship internationally, or find some kind samaritan to forward it to you:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/82-83-CHEVY-...item5ae3ed8e4f

Or try one of the handful of F-body wreckers in the world.
