Hello all,

I was just wondering if anyone has some wiper arms from either 52-56 or 57-64 laying about forlorn and unloved?

I've just noticed I have one from each time period fitted to my Oval and would like a matching pair or either variety.

Let me know if you can help.

cheers,
Mike

Southspark - here are the different types.

52-57 style that the arm is part of the wiper blade and screws into the spindle end.

58-64 has the wiper blade slide onto the arm and attach with a small screw

After this they got bigger and used sprung wiper blades.

Cheers,
Mike

From memory they are handed as well the arms have different bends on them

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

Possibly with the later end towards 64 but my 59 ones are straight and all the Split n Ovals were straight.

Hi Mike,
I have a wiper arm from an early model - 1960's. Needs new rubber blade and a screw.
Has the tightening nut and sleeve.

Happy to swap for a 1915 Dual Weber Engine or otherwise $5.

I am located in the Grange.
Cheers
Mark

Hiya Mark,

I'll double check what I have and get back to you but might be a go there. I can manage the $5. Afraid I don't have a 1915 lying around to trade 🙂

No worries on the blades as already got these.

Cheers,
Mike
