Re: Mike's 60 Suburban build

I finally got tired of our crappy stock wipers and wiper arms and wanted something better. I picked up some Bosch 13" blades, Trico 51-151 (except I think they are Anco 4102 in a Trico box), and some Mighty Clear 42630 wiper arms for the J-hook part. I cut the J-hook down to 2.5" long and replaced the bayonet piece on the Trico arms with it. I used a dremel tool to widen the gray plastic adjuster, epoxied it in place and drilled and tapped the j-hook. Now I have the standard j-hook connector that you can attach any common 13" wiper to.

A few more pics. I'm happy with the function. I do think they would look better if the arm was one piece stainless, but that would be a lot of work!
