I was just wondering if anyone had any of the full stainless wiper arms as fitted between 1957-64?
A pair would be great but a single ones fine. Be good if the arm still has good spring too it aswell. They can get rather limp after lots of use.
I'm in north east Melbourne but posting is fine as they aren't big or heavy.
Just flick me a PM is easiest.
Cheers,

Hopefully the image from Wolfsburg West works. These are the same design but painted silver instead of made from Stainless steel.
Oh, and doesn't matter if the end is cranked. Originals should be cranked as to whether LHD or RHD but the repro are straight to cater for both.

My original ones have the 10-11mm nut that clamps the shaft but the grub screw type were also used between 58-64. I know Oz was a bit different as to what was used but I've had a few of the nut type arms and just wndering if anyone has any before I go and buy new ones for OS. 🙂

Hi Mike
Had them (nos) sold them, they are worth more than I thought.

Do you have any left?
NOS woulda been worth about $50 each. That's what they cost to buy new.
Wish I'd known they were NOS.

Sorry I didn't specify NOS status but I only keep good shit. That is what I got for them ,the long ones were splitty ones.
If you still need a set I may have some s/h ones but Ill have to look through more boxes I haven't touched for ten years !

No worries man. If you do happen to look for any s/h ones I'd much appreciate it but I know looking thru old boxes isn't a fun way to spend time 🙂

Whitworth a boating might be able to get you out of trouble, from memory the arms are adjustable for length too.

I have a set and planned on getting new shiny ones but they are on a 67 so I don't know if they would fit?

From what I know VW used a 6mm shaft up until 1970 IIRC. Hence yours should fit. Are they the fully stainless ones or is the shaft hub painted? Cheers
