I'm still on the home stretch and the little things keep biting me in the butt.
I realize that there is an adapter that snaps on the end of the arm and has a little rod that slips through a hole in the blade cassette. Classic Auto Industries doesn't sell the adapter with the blades, which is a CROCK for $50+Shipping. Does anyone know what the stock connectors/adapters look like and where I can get my paws on a set?
Thanks,
Lindy

you might punch in the right phrase on eBay & see if any pics of the right piece you are after comes up. Or post an ad locally (CL) with your make/model

are these adapters used to install modern blades on the old arms ? i have several left over plastic adapters laying around from replacing blades over the years. if that may be what you are looking for, post a pic of your arm end and the blade you are trying to use. if i have what you need, i'll send 'em to ya, gratis. These are original arms and vintage reproduction blades. The arms have a button pressed into the steel about an inch from the tip. The wipers have a hole where a pin is supposed to go through. I don't know how to attach a file and since photobucket decided to charge $400 a year for hosting I haven't figured out who to host through.

My understanding is that 16" Anco blades were standard. No way can I go with black. I could buy the stainless ones but I am already $50 deep in wipers. Need the $5 fix. Thanks for googling. I called Classic Industries and they have zero clue. Said that the ones I purchased are for the stud mount ended wiper arms. only the e body arms were stud style. They actually show two different styles of wiper in their catalog for 70 b bodies.

Are you looking for this plastic piece? I have Napa Vintage 60-1647's on my car and a spare set in the garage. They don't use the plastic portion. Mine just use the pin on the end of the wiper arm and no need for the adapter portion. YES YES YES!!! That plastic adapter with the pin is exactly the part I need. I'm going to call Anco today and see if they have something similar. Where did you but those? Are they 15 or 16"?

If you can't find them, or don't want to spend money on a new set of wipers, let me know. I am guessing you may be able to use the adapters more than once if gentle with them with install and removal. My car doesn't use them, so if you want me to send them to you shoot me your address and I'll put them in a bubble envelope and ship them out within the next few days. Busy around the house, so not sure exactly when they will get out.

Are these wipers for your 70 Bee? If so, factory wiper blades were 15" not 16". Factory wiper ARM was style 15B.
