Damon Astoria Windshield Wipers

Damon provided a replacement and more powerful motor unit. I also noticed that the holes for the wiper arm shafts were slightly too far apart, forcing me to use pressure to get the shafts through the holes, so I used a rasp to enlarge the driver side hole toward the center of the rig, shifting the driver side wiper a little toward the middle. Between those two, the performance is much, much better. I'm considering a more major modification in the future to eliminate the problem entirely. I'll update results if and when I do that. The options I'm considering are: 1) try to get wiper arms that accept smaller, standard automotive wiper blades (I don't need anything like what the rig came with), 2) Cut the end off the wiper arms and weld on ends from automotive wiper arms to allow use of automotive wiper blades, and 3) shorten the support mechanisms on the driver's side, cut a new hole through the body for the shaft, and have the existing shaft hole plugged at the body shop. I intend to look into these options in that order.
