Specialty Power Window Wipers Arms - Coupe

[wedel456]

I have searched high and low for what builders have used for wiper arms on their wwk-2 kits. I know @edwardb used Anco 44-01; however, those are not available any more (I did find a quantity of 1 for sale on Ebay). I also see some reference to Wexco.

Can anyone provide some direction on what current arms (and blade) you have used on the coupe? Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Here are the arms I found:

Newport Engineering sells some nice stainless wipers. I have a set on my 69 Camaro and I'm pretty certain the same ones will fit on the Coupe based on the windshield size and curvature. If not those, they also have adjustable units as well. I believe the knurl size is the same at 1/2".

Looked in my build notes, and found that I had saved this comment: Referenced on the forum by Scott (Namrups): "Wexco "J" type wiper arms from Amazon and 15" Anco wiper blades from Walmart." Just looked in Amazon and they are still listed. The Wexco website has additional technical info.

Yep, I saw that on a forum post that you were on. Do you have the link? Searching "Wexco "J" type wiper arms" in Amazon comes up with a ton of stuff.

My Coupe arms are adjusted to 10.5 inches with 15 inch blades. The Wexco that adjust from 8-11 inches can duplicate the length I have. The "J" is referring to the type of connection on the blade. A common setup. Disclaimer: This is not what I have on mine. I can't cite personal experience. But looks like it would work.

Ah, I see what my issue is now. I was reading one of your previous posts (https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?43352-Coupe-65-adjustable-wiper-arms) and thought you had arms that were 15 inch but re-reading it now you have your Anco 4401s set the minus (~10.8) and a 15 inch blade.....

Thank you @PNWTim! I ended up ordering the New Port Engineering (https://newportwipers.com/) wiper arms (Part number ne13000 (https://newportwipers.com/product/polished-stainless-adjustable-wiper-arm-fits-12-knurl/)) and 15" blades (Part number: ne14015 (https://newportwipers.com/product/wiper-blade-15in/)) from Affordable Street Rods (https://www.affordablestreetrods.com). The shipping from New Port Engineering directly was out of control. Will let everyone know how they work out.

The Wexco "J" arms work fine. The 15" Anco blade works on the Driver side but overhangs on the passengers side. I found a 14" blade at Walmart that fits/looks better.

Well, that did not last long. Apparently the New Port arms do not work with their 15" wipers.... I am sure I could find something else that works with it but I am giving up and just going with the Wexco ones that are confirmed as working on the car. Best pricing at Wexco direct (Part number: 200722 (http://www.autotexwipers.com/products/200722-drum-wiper-arms-1-2-200722-8-11-radial)).

Thank you all for guidance on this topic!

I wanted the Old School look so I shortened up a set of 70's Mopar (Duster - Dart) Wiper Arms. The drivers side is shortened down to 12" and the passenger side is 11" so a 15" blade will not hang off of the windshield edge.
I then was able to use the Trico Classic blades. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/WIP61533?cid=paidsearch_shopping_GOOGLE_dmx-Google+%7C+Shopping+%7C+Core+%7C+Non-Brand+%7C+Catch-All_ao&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=6478877959&gbraid=0AAAAADzGEwwMOi6jsCJTeyMbKegCUMj_v&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIh9KE4p7wkgMVZnBHAR3egR9uEAQYBSAB EgIrfvD_BwE
If going this route, you will need to purchase a set of 1/2" knurled drums to fit most older wiper arms. https://www.ebay.com/itm/388193902285?_trkparms=itmf%3D1%26aid%3D1110006%26 rkt%3D12%26asc%3D20220310133107%26mech%3D1%26algv% 3DSimplAMLv11PairwiseFitmentPromotionV2WithCassini QueryEmbRecallKatRecoFirstNDroppedSeedOnTop%26pmt% 3D1%26amclksrc%3DITM%26sd%3D325965320409%26sid%3DA QALAAAAEFfUcVxtYSkS8%2BM8HnNvhzE%3D%26itm%3D388193 902285%26noa%3D0%26plcampt%3D0%3A13466917014%26alg o%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26rk%3D9%26pid%3D10119 6%26b%3D1%26mehot%3Dnone%26lsid%3D100%26meid%3D953 506b192e248088517ee7d9d1100d1%26pg%3D2332490&_trksid=p2332490.c101196.m2219&itmprp=cksum%3A388193902285953506b192e248088517ee7 d9d1100d1%7Cenc%3AAQALAAABQDMwEeo0U78229jCB614hTjS K8ssoa1hWSuiGAVeeWj9elVd9eLDj2395Fbgwtk5YN9dtJsnsJ YyaXc0W%252BUCsqcxiI%252FUT6fw8%252BbcNzSDwUMuIn3r FAJWwsQO3cV%252F4V0KPFjjKyyQMh2QJ6VCmWoY1RtvdKhNmQ goyKMl5ATS2IqfOHWa9sMe8KMyOjZK7kCsFzsxbGwAL26dUdGU zC8M5wN6j%252BFPwj5Nqj5JnteCA6%252FO5liS6cJnerVXpa E49dRoD7SdkFOj4bL44l9z0Dwik%252BeoaPl%252B%252FGff SHb7%252BwvdFcHQ10%252BDE1csnseQEvgDRyfwff4v%252Bl Hp0L%252BqZuSfPmqqCGVwS3Cw6VQqpStmH6egUnU5gXArNYOy Tp32WWDDXTgWqKtynEtua2UbfxN8pSDU0Ha1kL66JyVf9IMhsG 7J%252F5O3%7Campid%3APL_CLK%7Cclp%3A2332490&itmmeta=01KJ5WKTWEDQHFBF3BF376SH4P

John

Thanks John.

I'm a Mopar guy. I had them laying around.
They either came off of my Duster or Barracuda?
I'm sure you can find them on Ebay.
Any A-Body Mopar will work.
70 - 76 Duster
64 - 76 Dart - Dart Sport
64 - 69 Barracuda

I drilled out the factory rivet.
Slide the inner arm to the lengths mentioned, mark the rivet hole on the inner arm and drilled the new hole. I replaced the rivet with a 6-32 button head screw.
Whatever you shorten the overall length, you'll need to cut / shorten the inner arm the same so to reuse the inner tension spring.
It wasn't too difficult.
The hardest part was drilling the inner arm. it's Stainless.
I used my drill press and a bunch of cutting oil.

Hope this helps.
