I was able to get replacement blades for my 1937 115C from Max Merrit. They had two different connector types and as luck would have it, I chose the wrong type initially and had to swap them out.

Hi WJames,
Not sure if the blades are the same from '37 - '39, but I know I received a box of miscellany from a P.I. member who no longer had his pre-war and there were a couple of wiper blades still in the package with 'Made in China' labels, so I'm pretty sure they have been repro-ed if you can't find NOS. I believe they were 9" and they actually looked like decent quality. I'd check with our 'regular vendors'. Chris.

Occasionally, very rarely, Rob Ficken will have a component or two, you might ask him to put you on a list. He also can enlighten on what is correctamundo.

The 35-6 120 wipers are very odd, nearly unique, a finite detail that only the cognoscenti have seen or care to understand. There are three components - the wiper blade with the added guide rail, the guide rod and the proper wiper arm itself with the triangular end. Oh, and don't forget the simple rubber bushing that goes with the tab on the windshield. And for the record, as can be guessed from the service bulletin, or my years of experience, wipers on a 36-120 are crap. I think it has to do with the lack of tension between the wiper and the windshield. But I digress..

I have some "archive samples" in my unobtainium trophy case. Do you really care to have them? Generic replacement wiper arms and replacement blades can probably be sourced from the usual vendors.
