Wiper arm help?

[pmac]

Are these 260Z wiper arms??
Or are they 280ZX??
Were they black originally?

Will they fit a 240Z albeit not factory correct??

 

[jonbills]

They do look rather like my 260z arms.

 

[pmac]

Have yours got this end fitting???

 

[jonbills]

I think they are for a RHD 1977/78 S30 (260Z). They take the "pin" type wiper blades.

Yep that seems to be the consensus.
I better get them listed for sale now I know what they fit

So..... are they meant to be black or just satin metal ...... that is the burning question

I second that. Also, see the late model 260Z UK brochure photograph, which shows black wiper blades and arms.

 

[pmac]

Black it is then.

So why do we see so many satin ones about then like the ones on mine? Were they a dealer option or for other markets?

Now that depends if your fitment was for a colour coded car.... then the worlds your oyster.. I have some tramadol if it will help you sleep

"Satin" finish was used up until 07/76, from which point the visible wiper components were finished in black. I think the black-finished wiper parts are "satin" underneath the black paint.

In my RHD fiche it does not show the "satin" finish being an option following the introduction of black-painted components.
