280Z Wiper Arms

[ArcticFoxCJ]

Hey all.  

So when I got my project car, it wasn't complete and among the missing parts was one front wiper arm.  The problem is that the other arm was removed and in the back of the car so I don't know which side it originally came from.  

I know both blades are 18" but it's the arms I need.  So my question is this:  Are both arms the same?  I have seen them sometimes with different part numbers and other times the same, so I don't know either way.  If they're different then I need to figure out which side I have already so I order the right one.

Here is a pair of 280Z arms and blades that I got in trade from @240260280a few years ago. They are not actually correct for my 7/70 240Z but after I removed the black paint they looked good to me. The arms seem to identified left and right by the markings as these in these pic of mine.

The right arm is longer, but only by half an inch. (The zero on the tape is in line with the center of the rivet, the photo distorts the view.)

Hope this helps,

Mike

It helps tremendously!  Thanks very much!

I forgot to mention I have a 280Z so that was perfect.

You're welcome. Actually I saw 280Z in the topic title. I did notice one other difference between the right and left. The end of the left has more of an angle than the right.

Well, after all that, I got out the arm that was still in the car and looked at it, comparing it with the pictures in this thread and...

...it isn't even a wiper from a 280Z.

When I bought the car it had a bunch of parts in the trunk, mostly its own.  There were a handful of parts form other cars in there.  I guess this is another one.

So I guess I'm looking for the set.  Thanks for your help guys.
