A pair of these:



A bit of threaded rod, and a chunk of right angle aluminium should be all you need. Designing a long-term solution to these parts (and the wiper linkage) is on my to-do list
3-D printing might be able to reproduce the plastic arm but the stainless rod/rose joint solution is probably easier/cheaper. I may well start on this solution and see if I can come up with a working part. (I had hoped that if anyone had a working spare it would be you, MJ)
Can't wait for the wiper arm solution as my latest "fix" using the best mechanism I had out of 4 with cleaned and grease packed joints is OK but slaps at high speed on one or other of the scuttle or A-pillar depending on adjustment.
