[Mgs] Oops...there it goes

[Councill, David]

I recently replaced wiper arms as well as chrome blade assemblies on my
64B restore so I know they are available from Moss or a Moss reseller,
probably other vendors as well. Plus with the flying wiper blade
possibility, it is always good to have spares. I had it happen a few
times but only when the blade assembly accumulated ice. On my former
daily driver 71BGT (lots of Montana winter driving), I drilled small
holes through the arm and blade assembly and wired them to insure they
didn't come free.

I was on 880 in Oakland when it started raining. Switched on the wipers,
and
the passenger side blade assembly flew away. Switched off to avoid
scratching the screen. Exited at Berkeley to remove arm.

I think I recall a spare pair in my garage somewhere. Otherwise I'm
thinking
the early chrome ones were not available...?
