Default Need help with 1978 wiper arm

Hey guys, I'm new to this site. I'm having trouble finding out where to find the bracket that mounts the wiper arm on the rivers side arm of my Silver Anniversary Corvette. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks - Gary.

It broke because of rust.

Are you talking about the plate that mounts to the firewall? It has 3 studs that go through the wiper arm? I believe 3 or 4 screws attach it to the firewall. I am not sure about new (I needed one and seem to remember not finding one), but I know in the parts for sale section chstitans42 is selling parts from a 79 and I would bet he has 1 or 2. I may have even seen one last night.

You are correct, It's called a Wiper arm's transmission. I only found one on Ebay. I gotta have it
