Ok, but I just checked the Arms I installed NOS on my MB Vacuum set up ages ago (like maybe1971), they are 7" and the Blades 8-1/4". Good coincidence. for those that might be wondering about Trico vacuum.

Okay. After listening and re-reading what everyone has said, and the very useful photos I now know what I need.
Thanks!

Gosh I wish I could come across a set of these in the manual type. The reproduction standard type are all crap no matter where you get them from. The metal on them is soft and flimsy and breaks and the wipers bind.

Does anyone know if perhaps a civilian vehicle of the period had the same style and type that we could purchase and simply paint OD (ie Model A etc)?

Joel, again you try to write down your wonders about the Anco blade being 9 inches. That is because the arm has a different lenght then the Trico and a bigger blade takes most glass But its genuine G503 part.
