On my '75, it looks like there is both metal and plastic parts, connected with a factory type pin that looks like you can't take it apart. What's the best method or are new ones available?

That's cool. What's the fiddling part? Take a torch to the driver side arm and bend it straight with the help of a vise(unless your fingers are a whole lot stronger than mine), and the stainless caps need to be shortened some to fit..a lathe is best, but it could be done with a file or a grinder in a pinch. Be sure to get the Benz nuts too (the ones that go under the caps) because the 914 ones have too large a hex to fit under the caps. The neat thing is, you can use 16" wiper blades which are usually a whole lot easier to find than the 13" ones. It also gets rid of the silly big arch in the stock arms. The countour of the Benz arms pretty much follows the shape of the blades so there's less sticking up in your line o' sight. The whole enchilada was probably ten bux at the wrecking yard, and the inserts were even new. |
