Hi guys. As we all know, the E34 wiper mechanism is crappy as shit! But i've found this video on youtube.

WHERE can i buy this bushings? I WANT THEM NOW!!
They don't seem to be sold anywhere individually. I will probably just have a set machined.

Woho i found it
http://www.hongmei.com.tw
I think he means the site:
E34 Wiper connecting rod pass through olng-time or causes of working life in the connecting ord, so let the copper to wear frequently. (As the show attached picture.) When the automobile driving in the rain, the wipers is moved to bring noise problems and let the driver have perplex.
Mind you, alot of so called "english" speaking youth are about this level!
Good find though
Hi guys! I just want to bring this up! Because i have now installed these in my car.
And my god what a difference! The wipers are so much smoother and not flapping all over the place.
BEST bang for the buck! 40$ shipped to Norway.
I know its been about a year but any updates on how the parts are holding up?
any other sources for these parts?
Great find. That outfit makes lots of handy bits to address common and simple failures that the OEM refuses to make an inexpensive fix for.
They also sell this interesting bit, group buy?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q3e7l6t5u4
Anyone have specs on the bushing that needs replacing?
ive attempted to contact the company above but have had no response.
it would be great to quiet down my wiper linkage
I'm planning to make a run of these once I get the specs (remove mine and measure it). If someone has a bushing already removed that would speed up the process.
Copper us not the right material. Probably oilite bronze.
titanium!
GREAT!!
please let me know if/when you have any available for sale.
@Layne
did you already make these bushes? Might also be interesting for E32 owners, please compare if they are same on E32 and E34.

LAYNE, I would also be interested in the bushings both for my own and a friends E34 M5 that we are restoring to former glory.
Did you make these or ever find the specifications?

I've also tried to contact "http://www.hongmei.com.tw", a few times over the last couple of years, and never got a response.
Another follow up. Anybody made them already? I assume the seller in Taiwan is just a trader and get's them from P.R. China, found the source probably http://oilesbearing.en.made-in-china...BMW-Wiper.html Jiashan PVB Sliding Bearing Co., Ltd.
Price $1/piece when ordering 10, $0.50 per order of 1000 pieces.

I never contacted them, as I do not need them. In case you get a reply and buy them, let us know the quality and maybe you can distribute them in sets/car
