I got a paint job on my 1964 Valiant Signet and the wiper arm retaining nuts went missing! Anybody know where can I find replacement wiper arm hold down nuts?
Bummer. It's worse than I thought!Me too as I lost mine when the car was taken apart in 2015.
What are you using to hold down the wiper arms?Bummer. It's worse than I thought!
Thanks.They're really not supposed to come off. They have a flare on the bottom side that is supposed to hold the nuts in the arms, but over time they either rust off or the flare loses its integrity. I'll look. I might have a couple. I know I have some arms with the nuts I really don't want to separate, but I may have some nuts separately. I'll look tomorrow and see.
If you haven't seen me post by tomorrow evening, feel free to send me a PM because my forgetter works overtime.Thanks.
Welcome to FABO. If you are looking for parts, a wanted thread in the Marketplace forums is the place to start.I got a paint job on my 1964 Valiant Signet and the wiper arm retaining nuts went missing! Anybody know where can I find replacement wiper arm hold down nuts?
The originals have hex nuts that hold them on.Fix the missing screws (not nuts) and improve your wipers' ability to actually wipe, and stop getting stabbed in the eyes by sun reflections off the chrome, all in one go—like this.
OK. Thanks for checking!The originals have hex nuts that hold them on.
To the OP, I'm sorry, I do not have any extra wiper arm nuts.

They do. At least my 64 does. The pivots have male threads on the ends and the wipers have a captured nut.<Beavis>
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

If the wipers have a captured nut, I'm wondering how they could have disappeared during the car's paint job.They do. At least my 64 does. The pivots have male threads on the ends and the wipers have a captured nut.
Like I explained. The flares rust or wear over time. It doesn't take much.If the wipers have a captured nut, I'm wondering how they could have disappeared during the car's paint job.
