Thanks for this, I sent a message. I’ve been reading conflicting info on the wiper arm. JM suggests it may be from a Bell Huey originally…

Piper wipers are very similar

Piper wipers are very similar

A quick google search shows these arms as having a large bend in them. Does not look like an original MkII wiper arm...?

Then just bend some sheet to fit onto the base and blind rivet together
