Anyone have an original wiper blade holder for a 75?

I want to replace my wiper blade holders (the part that attaches to the arm) with originals but I dont know what they look like. Does any have a photo or know where I can look to see one?

Thanks in advance for your time.

The original wiper blades were manufactured by Anco and made of stainless steel. From 1968 -1972 they were silver satin finish and from 1973 -1981 they were painted semi gloss black finish. Most vendors offer nice reproductions for a reasonable price if you can’t find a nice original pair to refinish. The vendors claim that the 1982 is the same wiper blade but the parts book says it is a different number. I can snap a picture of my originals off my 77 if you would like, but they look just like the ones offered by most vendors. I am sure mine have the Anco markings on one end.

Brian-

If the Eklers photo is the same as yours then I know what to look for now.

Thanks for the info.

Hold on a bit and I will take a picture of the ANCO script, my cameras batteries are charging. I know by some of your earlier posts that you’re looking for NCRS correct. I am not sure that the ecklers blades have the correct ANCO script that you may need. Also, in my previous post I said that the ANCO script was on one end of the blade, actually, it is on both sides of the blade on the side about 1.5” down from the center point where the arm pin fits in.

Now that I take a good look at Ecklers if the ones you receive from them look like that there not correct. Here are 4 linked pictures I took of mine; they are completely original even the paint including the ANCO wiper insert.

I'm pretty sure I still have the original ones off my 77 if they're the same. I changed to aftermarket on mine. If so and you want them, just pay for shipping and they're yours. I'll make sure I have them tonight.

Brian,

The pic's are perfect.

You're correct that I'm trying to meet NCRS standards. Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to assist me. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to repay your kindness but please let me know if you need any assistance with your car. I live in the Seattle area.
