Where did you find them? My wiper arms themselves are not correct so I need to find a proper set. I guess I could contact Tom Shaughnessy and see if he has any.

The wiper arms are special in regards to the one has a bent arm and the other does not....then there is the length

also - as far as the blades go - depending on your arms if they are the same length, some are 13 and 14 inch, some are 14 inch each.....

then the blades could vary as well, some blades at 14 inch for both and some are different lengths.

then pass blade should not overlap the edge of the windshield ....theu s shorter blade is needed or a shorter arm and blade.....

PM me, i may have a second set of the speed wipers blades that have the 2 parallel wires on them.

Re-Originals seems to have a few styles for sale.
Is there a definitive "correct" for the GTC wiper arms and blades?
I seem to remember hearing that other (Lucas?) arms and blade were also originally used.

Anyone have an opinion? I need something else to worry about.
As a reference, here is a photo I took a few years ago of a 330 2+2 that has been (and still is) slumbering since 1975.

You might not find Carello branded ones any longer, but if you search under the name Speedblade you will probably find the modern versions of this. If you still have Carello metal backings, then the best option may be to find new rubber inserts and change them out - matching the lengths carefully!

Hello,
I follow up this thread since I am looking for wiper blades for my 330 GTC, LHD 1967, based in France

The PFA 330GTC as built manual states, with pic, that they were Lucas or Carello, 15'' driver side, 14'' passenger side.
Where could I get perfect repros?
I would be very grateful if someone could give me the information.
Thanks,
Jean-Paul
