To correct mine I recut the hole on center, the original hole in the cowl is a bit too small so there is material to be taken out anyway, what we take away is concentric to the wiper spindle. I did a 'How To' PDF and it is attached here.

I found a juice cap that was the correct size (Ø1.70) and put a hole the center the same size as the OD of the wiper spindle (Ø.47) and scribed around the cap.

Dave: I"ve got the site you posted on the fix. I see the non-concentric hole you're talking about...Thanks loads for the info...Carl
