Felt oil reservoir is really only for Centrifugal Advance lubing...oil cup is for Bushing Reservoir oil...big diff! If they did away with oil cup, I wonder how the bushing was intended to be kept lubed...?

Yes, I already knew this, just pointing out what Vanagons have since you asked in the post.

After years of having a non-operating defrost fan, I finally have the dash out. It really wasn’t that bad!

I have a serous case of while-I’m-in-there-itis though….

I saw some photos here somewhere of the sound deadening someone had applied in front of the HVAC air distribution box. I can’t find them now. (Yes I tried the search!) Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Also, I’m trying to see where I’d lubricate the wiper motor and linkage. Do people go so far as to remove it or just squirt some lube in the linkage bushings?

Thanks!
