My best guess is that there were multiple suppliers of wiper arms and the linkage clips. All of mine, from the one that is at the wiper, to the other 3 that are part of the additional linkages were all coppered.

I had found some original 280 279 horns. Date codes are 69 but there so hard to read its not even worth mentioning what they are.
Neither one worked no matter how many times i smacked them. Repair included taking out all the rivets to split the horns from the electroncis. Both diaphrams were rusted swiss cheese. I found some donor horns and harvested parts including a new coil as I had a bad one. Riveted the units back together and painted. Played with the tone adjust some and there as good as new. |

I wish all years were like 69s. Its so easy with this year to just blast and paint. The rubber boot was reconditioned and the copper bulb base blasted and finished off to look original. I decided on trim parts lenses. There very nice. I custom cut my own gaskets as I have struggled to find anyone that makes good replacements for other years.

I am in the process of restoring my horns for my 69 ss396 300 deluxe post car and I have a question does a gasket go in between both sides of the diagram? When I tore mine apart there was only a gasket on one side however the kit I bought has 3 gaskets in it! Thanks

Thankyou. I did find my original arm in the plating table. After more research its not the same arm as used with the more common hidden wiper units. Im sure there are other models of cars and years with the same arm but I cant say which. Another 300 deluxe oddity.
