Factory wiper arm springs

On a restoration, using factory arms, has anyone found a stronger replacement spring? My wipers are dancing at speed.

Heck, they did that when they were new sometimes!
But now, I have not personally seen a spring only available. Doesn’t mean they don’t exist, I just never looked for one
I changed to aftermarket arms many years ago and never bothered to fit with the stock ones because I hated the blade design and size.
Whole different ball game for a Restoration. I was just looking for Driver function rather than historical accuracy.

Yeah I don't think the cherokee conversion would fit very well.

My local Ace Hardware has a fantastic selection of springs that I've used for a number of replacements. You might try looking around at a really good hardware store.

I don't know where you are located but in the mid-west, there is a place in Wichita, KS called The Yard. They are a great resource for all things hardware. I've seen hundreds of different types of springs there. They get all of the aviation manufactures surplus material and resell it to us.
