They lasted about 5 years with no use, just dry rotted on the truck. I found replacements at Oreilly auto parts. It is the classic trico 12 inch blade Part number 33-122. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | I use Anco P/N 05325, stk no. 20-12. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,281 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,281 |

So I went to the junkyard and pulled the arms off of a 90 something chevy pickup and cut the ends off. Then I tapped them and screwed them to the arms I have. Now I can use the new style wipers. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,281 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,281 | I don't know if this will work on your arms but I was tired of how newer blades fit on the Anco 41-01 arms I have on my 52.

I re-drilled the spring mount to increase the spring tension and they work just fine,even in west Scotland.
A dab of Rain-X always helps too.
(P.S. We do get a lot of the wet stuff.)
