[T3] Still would like info on the wiper arms and blades for a 73type 3 .

[Keith Park]

the only blades ive found in stores recently are the most profitable, (ie,
CRAP) so now you have to order the good ones online (ANCO etc.)and pay the
premium price with the shipping wrapped in.

Its like the Blue toilet seat, 5 years ago they were $15 at Lowe's, now you
cant get anything but white in the store and you have to get the colors
online, and they ALL cost $40+, even the white ones in the store,  has
anyone else noticed this with things lately?

 The arms were silver on the 72 which I used on my 73 because they were
missing . They have black nuts can’t tell if they are plastic covered . What
I mean is the nuts aren’t covered by a black plug as you see on some models
. The nuts stand above the arm yet are black . It’s been so long I can’t
recall if I bought new blades . I think I did they are Bosch and black . 
 I imagine I have the proper arms . All I know is they were silver and I
painted them black . I can’t find any info on if both arms are the same and
how long they should be from the pivot center to the end of the hook right
where it bends . All the on-line stores show a 15” blade for a 72 and 73 .
Mine are 13 ½” and I never noticed an issue yet now you can’t buy refills at
least on this planet that leaves me buying new complete blades . Auto zone
states 16” yet they also offer a 15” with the same arm fitting.

For '72 models (from Aug '71) the blades are 15", (375mm metric equivalent).
They changed from silver to black mid year, to the nut and black plastic cap
type, rather than the large silver domed nut. 
That's handy as you can't get silver blades any more.
The older blades were 14" (350mm from memory).

I just wanted to know if the blades should be 15” and what length the arms
are and if the arms are both the same. I got them off a 72 the arms yet the
blades are 13 ½ “ long.  I tried and just can’t find any info .
