True Classic
So having finally found and refurbished my wipers, I go to put them on to find that the nuts that I have do not appear to be the original nuts. In fact, they won't even screw down onto the shaft. What I have is this:
Kind of like a castle nut. I reversed it for grins and it will tighten on somewhat, but THAT can't be right...
The wiper arm also seems a little high on the post, but the splines grab and the wipers work fine. The weird thing is that I know this thing had wipers on the car when I took them off. When I got the car back from paint, these nuts were on the wiper spindles, so I had always assumed they were factory. So I'm scratching my head here. Am I missing something here (other than a pair of proper nuts)?
