Mk.1 wiper motor attachment?

Because I bought my '61 in pieces, there are some details that I've never seen in person. The one that came up today was the attachment of the wiper motor.....the studs that fasten the motor to the bulkhead appear to be #10's, but the holes in the bulkhead are about 5/16".

What fills the gap....is it sort of a sleeved, rubber bushing?

Yep, 3 x rubber bushings and 3 each of two types of washers (6 in total).

Are the bushings still available from somewhere like MiniSpares? I wasn't able to find them.

Benny, three washers go on the studs, the wiper passes through the rubber bushes and then three smaller ID washers fit on the studs. The nuts tighten and the bushes are compressed to a crush predetermined by the step in the stud.
