Where to get a really minor car part

Hi all,

I've a 2001 Mazda 323 and the rubber connector connecting the windscreen wiper rotary motor to the wiper spindle has worn down a bit and needs replacing. Mazda only sells entire spindle units for c.€125, but the part I'm looking for should only cost about €2. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could pick one up (I'm in Dublin 3)? I've phoned a couple of car dismantlers but the part is so minor that even they don't stock them. I've been told there are a few scrapyards in East Wall but are they worth checking out?

Cheers
 
Hope so. It's a fairly unnerving experience heading down the N11 in lashing rain only for the wipers to suddenly stop working!
