How the heck do these get attached such that they don't fly off at 40 mph only to get run over by another car behind you? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,596 | You might be better off to get the "Hot Rod" style wiper arm. Mine have a 10MM headed bolt that you tighten down onto the shaft. I know it's not original looking, but it will stay on! | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 15 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 15 | Thanks for that suggestion. I may just have two sets. One set for driving and one for "pretty". | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 1,596 | I should mention that the wiper blade attachment to the arm is much more secure than just the hook as well. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 | Get yourself an original set of Anco's or Trico's. They will be a bit expensive. They will have the proper adapter pieces (red, blue, green) in the boxes for converting your wiper shafts to accept the more modern style of arm. Look in ebay and search for "vintage Anco" or "8" Anco", "9" Anco", etc. I'd do it for you but the links would just get deleted anyway. I had the same problems with my Jim Carter wiper arms and blades. Once those went into the trash, i got some NOS Anco's, and they have been on and in the right place for many sustained runs over 80 MPH and a couple short ones over 100mph.
140699853568 ebay listing. Look at the back of the box pictures to show you how it's done. You must have those adapters included in the package. | | |
