I need some inexpensive wiper arms/blades for my bugeye project. They need not be pretty, but usable (obviously I can replace the rubber bits). Am I correct that the bugeye wiper arms are different from the late model midget and sprites? Thanks for any help you can provide.
 
BE wiper blades were originally eight-inch Trico Rainbow. Later cars were nine-inch I believe.
 
OK I need a parts book I guess, but I need the entire arm and blade assembly. If the blade assembly is a different length, then what about the arm length?

Bugeye and MkII used part number 13H68 for LHD models. This arm has the "spoon" end where it attaches to the blade and I think the tension spring in the arm was a tempered strip of steel type spring, I have seen others with a regular coiled spring. Factory blade was 17H5512
Hope this helps.
