The wipers on OB have small aluminium adaptors that have similar size ID and OD of approx 15mm, approx 30mm long and seem simply intended to extend the position of the mount to the arm itself where it mounts to the motor shaft.
The arms are of stainless and do not get on too well with the aluminium adaptor piece, which has disintegrated. The arms themselves are well past their best with the loading springs heavily corroded (clearly not stainless)
The available Marine wiper arms I have found have a far smaller mount, but I note some automotive arms are also stainless. If I can find a suitable automotive arm I can chop off the crank these seem to all have, but need some clue on where I could find these, as EBAY only seems to refer to Car make / model, not fitting size.
I believe the motors may be Vetus.
Any ideas on where I can find new adaptors and arms ?
Thanks
