Wipers becoming rare: Any chance of a conversion?
Canadian Tire has discontinued the last Disco 2 compatible wiper.
This complicates my life.
Has anyone tried a conversion to a more mainstream arm? Is this a thing that is even possible?
Seems to me like it should be a thing, just a hinge after all...

Like it's been said, very possible to run a D1 arm/blade and very easy to do. I've done it to every DII I've owned.

Or go to the salvage yard and pull some good arms off a D1 and save some $. Either way, yes it can be done.

D1 now too? I know the RRC caps are NLA, but I thought you could still get the D1 at least a few months ago. PRC8253 still shows up on some sites, maybe they just have some old stock they haven't sold yet.

I recently installed Rovers North's Proline arms. It's a great cheap upgrade. They told me about the caps when I ordered it, but I was able to press fit the d2 caps onto the nut. It looks fine.
