Hello Klaus
I "modified" the wiper arms on my 122S by cutting the hooked ends off and drilling two small holes in the arms and fixed the modern type of fittings to them using small screws and nuts. I was a bit disappointed with the result because the modern wiper blades are made for curved windscreens and the Amazons screen is "flat" which meant that I had to try and "straighten" the new blades and they did not really wipe all that nicely in the end. I have now bought new wiper arms and blades which I am going to fit and I am going to try and retrofit new rubbers next time I need new ones.
Regards
Greig
