Default Windshield Wiper Washer

I do not have any assemblies on my wiper blade arms to indicate there was/is a washer option. Shouldn't all wipre have this option? Can anyone poswt a pic of what I might be missing - as I just have the arms. Thanks

Hi KB,
Please forgive me but I forget what year you're working on.
68 and some 69 cars had the washer nozzles attached to the rear bottom of the wiper grill panel, the later 69 cars and cars through 72 (and much further) had the tubes mounted on the wiper arms.
Regards,
Alan

Thanks Alan.... mine is a 69. So I think mine were mounted on the wiper arm then - as the wiper hose 'clamps' are at the base of wipers where the rotating mechanism is mounted with 3 nuts.

Hi KB,
In that case I believe you're looking for something like these (71).
Regards,
Alan

Alan,

I'm so glad you got yourself a camera!
With each picture you post I can see just how nice a vette you have, that thing has to be just about, if not perfect. I'm betting on perfect myself.

Ooooooooook ALan. I have compared mine against your pics. I have the upper 'tabs' (if you will)... but the lower connections look like they were never on mine. ....At the risk of asking too much - can you give a more detailed pic of the lower side near the base connection of teh wiper arm?

In my next life - I will give you many riches.

That might be a tough pic for Alan to get without some disassembly.
Alan if you already have some pics of the lower end thats great but if you don't I might have some old arms in the shed I can take pics of.

Hi KB,
Describe a bit more what you're looking for and I'll try to get a picture that helps.
