Hi, I have recently purchased an inch metric HLV-h and it has a couple things Id like to address before I start to use it.
1) The way wipers.
The way wipers are completely disintegrated and almost non existent. I think this is from it sitting a bit. I was wondering where to source new wipers for it as it seem like all the links on old post no longer exists.
2) The compound retract mechanism is broken.
The entire part with the lever and the part that the lever attaches to is sheared off. It would seem someone may have pulled to hard on it or hit it with something and snapped the bolt or whatever it goes into off. Are there replacement parts for this or is it something I will have to make myself? I have not torn into it too much to see how to works exactly. If anyone has pictures of the guts that would be awesome.
3) It is a 1979 does this mean it has the plastic under the saddle? Should I replace it if it does?
The bed has some grooving in it so I'd like to take the saddle off and clean out any gunk that is trapped before I do more unnecessary damage.
Thanks in advance!
