Default wiper motor mount bushing color

I had my 69 Chevelle wiper motor restored by Steve H. and it looks great. I didn't send him the three original mounts but he supplied three black ones. My originals look grey under the washers but are discolored to a dirty brown on the edges. Does anyone know a supplier for some grey ones? The grey color is almost the same color as the rubber interior rearview mirror.

I just had my wiper off my 69 Malibu, and noticed that they were also gray. Mine cleaned op OK, I do not believe anyone makes them gray. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

I have many grey and black bushing. No one makes the grey bumpers that I am aware of either.

I haven't tried cleaning them yet but a lot of parts have surprised me how nice they turned out.

I have been moderately successful cleaning them but often times they will have dark brown stains which run deep and cannot be removed.
