New wiper arms don't fit? [NOW WITH PICS]
I performed a search before posting and cannot find the answer. I order a set of new wiper arms from our host for my '79 SC. The new arms are flat/smooth where they bolt on to the wiper motor shaft, while my old arms are conical/knurled (the wiper motor shaft is also tapered/knurled too).
I ordered these: 964-628-028-01-M78 & 02

That is the right part number.
I gotta ask, why do you need new wiper arms? Are the old ones bent? Maybe post a picture of the mounting area for us?

The old ones are ratty. Pitted, etc. I figured it would be less expensive to replace with new than try to refurbish the old. Pics to follow.

Here's pics of old/new. Old = 1 spring, New = 2 springs. Old = knurled/conical hole. New = flat hole. Pelican Parts says they'll fit...

That's strange.
Put 'em on and see how they fit. Might want to throw a towel over the paint, just in case.

There's always Ebay!
 Seriously, I scuffed mine with Scotch-Brite and used Plasti-Dip in a can on them. I then used some light coats of satin black. They look like new. The rubbery coating helps with rock chips. I would think that if PP told you they would work they would take them back if the fit wasn't correct. BTW-Your car is terribly cool. I love the GT2 look.
