This is my first post, so please be gentle.
My daughter has a '65 four-door, and has just passed her test, so its now been used regularly. Things are going reasonably well apart from a wiper problem. Well, actually, there's also a suspension problem, oh and an oil leak problem, but I'll post seperately for those.
The drivers side wiper arm wouldn't grip the wheelbox spindle very well, although it behaved on its MOT. I removed the arm and inspected the spline, which looked a little tired, but I've seen a lot worse. I bought a new arm for one of the larger traders and fitted it. OK on test with squirty bottle of water, but it only lasted one rainy journey before it came loose again. The arm had pushed on far enough to engage the little spring clip. It didn't have many splines though. Are some brands better than others? These were Tex.
Is there an "elegent" bodge that I could use that doesn't involve tinfoil metal epoxy or superglue, or do I need a new wheelbox? I see from other posts that some new repro parts are better than others.
