Title: It's not done, it's not perfect, but it will work just fine...Diablo wiper arm.
Post by: FauxDiablo on September 28, 2015, 11:14:23 AM
After too many hours of trying to find a decent thread on what actually works for a Diablo wiper, I came to the conclusion that I just have to roll up my sleeves, and make something that is well, basically a Diablo wiper arm.

I'm sure that you guys realize that there are basically NO good photos of real Diablo arms, so you know that this was a beach to design.

Oh yeah, for all you guys calling these things "dual wiper arms", I kinda cringe when I see that. They are known as Pantograph Arms.

It's all stainless steel, including the hand-whittled base. The transmission-to-arm pin (not shown) is from a late-model Malibu. The wiper motor (not shown) is from an Audi A8.

Nice Pantograph arm you got there.  :)
I bet that was a PIA to make but you did a great job. Congrats.

Excellent craftsmanship on that dual wiper arm there  :LL:  Just kidding on the dual wiper arm part, seriously though that is very nice work especially for it being all hand made.  ::thumbup

Nice work! Looks like there are two wipers on that arm, does that mean it's a dual pantograph arm? I've never seen one with two wipers before!

Excellent work there.  I hava an oem diablo arm and a blue print to make the replica arm.  I missed the thread if you asked for pics.
