|

Is it possible to still find a wiper arm for my bus? Could I use a 1968 beetle wiper arm and modify it? Is it the same shaft size? They are available everywhere. Anyone have a 68 bus wiper arm to sell? Thank you. _________________ 47 years of ownership of my bus! |

I used ‘75 (I think) arms. I drilled the hole out to fit over the ‘68 spindle. I drilled holes and tapped them for set screws. This was done 2+ years ago, looks good and works well. I do lift the wipers up when it snows, as I found the heavy snow pushes the wipers down on the shaft.
I finished them off with the cap
