[Healeys] wiper arms

[m.g.sharp at sympatico.ca]

Hello all,  My BT7 has the original type of wiper arm that uses a leaf
spring to provide tension.   I believe (and I stand to be corrected) that
the later cars used a proper spring.  I have never felt the leaf spring
arrangement provided adequate pressure on the windscreen.  My two questions
are: 1) what experience have other had with the early wipers (i.e., perhaps
mine just have a weak leaf spring); and 2) can the later type arms with the
spring be fitted directly to the BT7s?

 

Thanks in advance,  Mirek
