Hello,
I have solved the problem of my worn windshield assembly (XJ92)
As follows:
the worn 3 bearings are ballstud type, one is fixed and mostly ok.
I used 3 bearings of an inline skate.
diameter 22 mm outside and 8 mm inside.
You can leave the old iron ballstuds and file or grind a pinshape of 8 mm round.
So that you can press the new bearings on the spins. A washer of 12 mm can give a support for the file and give temp protection for damage.
Remove the old plastic ballstudscups on the motorarms and soldering the new fixed bearings on it with 250 degrees celsius (welding is too hot)
Use a washer of 8 mm for distance.
The job took me about 3 hours of sweat.
Soldering bare iron goes very well with a butangastorch and softsolder 5050 and flux
The strength on the bearings is radial so the construction is ok.
