Wiper linkage grommet fail

Crashing of one wiper into another while on holiday in Ireland and part (white grommet on OS linkage) split and not available as a spare. Luckily fashioned a fix by drilling a hole through the boss and reassembling it with a bolt and washers. Will probably make a new grommet on the lathe when I get back but the DIY fix is probably permanent. Managed to straighten the mangled wiper blade as well. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

The white plastic part had completely split in 2 so not sure those would work (and I needed it fixed today)
Parking sensor system also failed today…… 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Thanks but I just need the small bush and can make it myself when back home if the repair doesn’t last (which it probably will)
Good breakers BTW for future reference 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Had the same happen and I drilled it and used a bolt. The wipers still move but I feel more damage was done - either the arms are bent or similar as they just don't clear the windscreen as well as they used to.

Suspect I'll need to replace the whole lot but too scared to check prices and the work involved 😂 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE - 'Black Betty'
