Some measuring after the wiper fiasco last time has shown that the various pins and shafts are 1/4", for which there are vintage-style arms and blades available that don't cost an arm and/or a leg. Marvellous! ## August 2019 In the mean-time:

## So, after I quit my job... Well, I ended up driving tipper wagons, and welding gates, on a farm, for two weeks before the network of people (who know people who know people) got me another job; I'm now something akin to a junior truck mechanic at a recovery firm.
