Hello all, is there a vehicle that I can steal the wipers from that will fit my 1979 Scout II?
I know there are conversion kits out there, but I live in Canada and they start getting pricey once I factor in the exchange and international shipping. Just wondering if there is a scrap yard alternative.
thanks in advance everyone.

i found that if you drill out the rivet that the original wiper clips onto, you can attach any standard 12" wiper with a simple nut and bolt from the hardware store. Makes it a little more of a pain to replace, but much cheaper. Had to do this when a block of ice flew off a semi and knocked my wiper blade off as I was driving down the highway.
