Could anyone point me in the direction of a company that sells a wiper linkage kit for a 72 CJ5- all the sites I have found only list them for 76 and later, and neither Quadratec or 4WD could recommend anyone who might carry this. Thanks

Where to find 72 CJ5 Wiper Linkage

nope- the Jeep sat for quite a while before I got it- the linkage is shot, and I want to replace it when I replace the windshield frame next week- for some reason I've decided that even though it's a Jeep it might be nice to have some working wipers- call me crazy....
there's an omix-ada wiper motor link listed here:

You can buy new flanged bronze bushings at your local bearing distributer. The metal linkages should still be fine. I couldn't find a source when I did mine either (1973 CJ5). The new frame I bought did not have the windshield wiper pivot holes in the same place as the original frame. I had to leangthen one linkage and shorten the other to make them work. Keep your old stuff until you get your new stuff done.
maybe try
