I have miss-matched wipers (black & s/steel + different arms/wiper sizes) on my V6 & want to replace them with suitable components.
Can anyone tell me what the originals were? And maybe a source? Cheers TZ |

Hi TZ
If you contact Adrian2 or see his site http://www.marcos-restoration.net/blog.html . He has fitted some wiper arms with securing screw to fix arms to the splined shafts which solves the problems. They looked good at Sunday Prescott |

I have just renewed mine. The correct ss blades and arms are available from www.Holden.co.uk The arms have offset ends and are of adjustable length.

I only replaced the blades - 15in '040.715'. My arms are 'LH crank' adjustable length 7mm bayonet. Holden have a similar one (040.307) but mine
don't have a retaining screw so don't know if they would fit your car - mine have a splined fitting. Hope this is of help

Thanks Adrian! Mine are splined too so these arms look like a good solution.
Re. blades: Mine are mismatched (15" o/s & 16" n/s and this combination does give good cover), Adrian suggested 14" and Dave said 15". I guess any of these will do but out of curiosity, does anyone know the original spec? |

I found out the arms were 13" & the blades were 14".
I ended up fitting the Europa ones & they look nice! |
