Has anyone had any luck changing the wiper arm to a new style to accept new refills instead of buying 10 inch thru a catalog. THANKS
 
I tried very hard to do the exact same thing. Looked everywhere. I even bought a universal short/adjustable wiper arm and one of those little adaptor kits that failed miserably. I finally just said to heck with it and ordered one of the ridiculously expensive ones from one of the catalog places. I would be very interested to see if you find a cheaper/modern alternative. Off the top of my head, the only guys that I know who have been successful with this are the ones who changed out the entire wiper mechanism with a modern electric-style one. I hope somebody comes along and proves me wrong here. In the meantime, good luck. Let us know what you find.
 
I changed to a 2 speed electric motor, but it takes the same 10 " blade. You can buy 10", 11" blade at auto parts but you need different arms.
 
Someone came up with an interesting idea on my 41 ,they cut the wiper arm towards the end and welded a newer style end on it. I'm not saying I'm happy with it because it ruined the original arms but I can use any of the new wipers now and the do work great.
 
I took my old blade to the local Advance auto parts. They had a classic wiper selection. We matched my blade no problem.
