Search Dorman 602-885 on Amazon... $45 free shipping when I looked. I have a set coming, I'll let you know how they look.

Was ordered by someone from Classic Z website to confirm the fit, there was some question about being a direct bolt in replacement.

Chuck, did you get these and how did they look? Did it work? What kind of mods were needed?

Sorry, I thought this had been debunked already.

Nope. They are built for a Subaru and although they look similar to a Z linkage, they are completely different dimensions and could only be modified with a great deal of effort. Enough so that I would never attempt it.

The design is similar enough that one would think that Dorman could design and offer a replacement for Z cars. After all, every Z car on the road could probably use a new wiper linkage AND it would fit every year Z from 1970-1978!
