Subject:      Broken wipers, Replacement jack?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hey everyone, 

Will Jacks from older Buses work on a van? If not, were can I pick one up?

I've also stripped (well, it just kinda happened) one of my wiper posts, so now the arm just hangs there when the wipers are on. What are everyones opinions on what I should do?

Replace the ENTIRE assembly? ($30, junkyard)
Replace just the post? (is this possible?)
Tap the post? (Or do I mean use a die? Never done it before!)

Is the post too thin to rethread?

Thanks!
Matthew
