i bought some wipers to replace the ones that flew off on the way to Nationals and they seem to not fit right and hit the windscreen rubber and make marks on it. i noticed some wiper blads r bigger than others?
can someone let me know
thanks

Yep there different. Hard to find as well.

the arms are handed left n right, in order to fit the screen correctly

u wouldnt happen to know where i can get some do u dave?
or should i just take a saw to the bigger 60s ones and cut them to size?

Yes, the Oval's have a shorter blade...
as their windscreen is smaller...
Most of the ones I have seen have been chopped off...
