Mine are rusted badly and broken.

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

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

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.
