Windshield wiper arm springs?

Mine are rusted badly and broken.

This link describes the spring. Does anyone have a source idea for a spring?

https://lordnibbo.wordpress.com/2011...-on-nauticats/



And how about a new wiper arm? I can use another. I am adding a center window wiper. The two I have are SS and have ANCO on them. They fit on a motor with a large ridge cylinder barrel and no nut, exactly look like this picture.

Hardware stores and auto parts stores should have a selection of springs.


Auto parts stores may be able to match up your arms. West marine sells some arms as well.

Greetings,
Mr. 717. Spend the $40 or so for new arms as Mr. b. suggests.

Posting links, I found out what I have for arms, Anco 4102, a 5mm bayonet style arm.
The Anco 4103 is longer with a 7 mm bayonet style arm. Amazon has these under $20.


Find My Wiper Blade
click Deadlocker, click flatwindshield, click 5 mm bayonet to view the classic style blades.
Anco 2011 or Anco 2012 are the SS wiper blades.

Bosch is 40711, Bosch calls a 5mm adapter a J1 attachment.

Trico Classic here uses 5mm bayonet, so will work.
TRICO Classic 33-122 - Wiper Blade | O'Reilly Auto Parts

Trico Classic here a 15" blade uses the 7 mm bayonet which is too big.

I found an adapter to take 7 mm bayonet to hook attached wipers.

It is likely this could be epoxied to the end of a 5 mm bayonet arm.

Chart of various adapter ends for Anco and shows the 5mm adapter I think is 47-91 included in the 31 series wipers
http://www.rockauto.com/info/Anco/31series.pdf

47-91 is the 5mm shim
http://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/anc...+adapter,10670

So I could get a 14 inch blade instead of an 11 " blade, Anco 31-14

My old blades are 14" long
So I bought one new arm Anco 4102 and 4 new blades Anco 3114 from Rock Auto for $30 total with shipping.

From that first link, replacement Vespa exhaust springs are 60 mm long.

So here are a pair of 60 mm springs stainless steel that I may buy for $7.95

Or 57 mm which might be too tight.

Success.
Repaired it all for $38 included shipping from Rock Auto and Amazon and I had ordered 4 wipers.

Those springs are 1/2 inch too short. I had some 308 welding rod I bent in to C shape. The C clips need to be 1/2 to 9/16 inch long from inner edge to inner edge. Then bend down the springs end onto the C clip.

The Anco 3114 blades fit perfectly with the adapters.
Put shim on the 5mm bayonet, then slip the hook down and it is a tight fit.
I think having the hook adapter I could now use beam blades.

Anco 4102 also includes a motor hub adaptor to go from bolt on blades that have a nut on top.

On the new wiper arm, I will likely need to drill and tap for a set screw to secure the arm to the wiper motor..

Hadsys rc17s was only for 93 EX SE accords, so I'm not sure if it'll fit in my 92 LX.The best I came up with was this: https://autowikius.com/. It was a loittle more than I wanted to spend, but the car looks much better overall.
