how do you tell if you have a "spoon" type wiper arm? on my spring arms it reads " dead locker". there is also a type called "hook" type . my arms have a fairly small pin going from one side to the other where the wiper blades go on to. the car is a 1946 closed car. i think the brand name is anco on my arms. all i need are the rubber blades my spring arms are fine. i just don't want to buy the wrong type of blades.

Take you blades and wiper arms to a Napa Auto Parts store and let them look at them. I believe they should be able to match what you have on your car. When I had my 46 a few years ago I was able to get new blades for my car at a local Napa store. I doubt if the chain stores can help you.

Although I've never heard it called this, I think "spoon type" refers to the shape of the end of the wiper arm where it attaches to the blade. It has a curved end which, in profile, has the shape of a spoon. The other type is bayonet where the end of the arm is straight with a locking tit pressed into it.

Those look to be universal replacements. You can get new blades like those from any of the usual old Ford parts suppliers.

Go to Mac's website and look at the blades and arms sold as replacements. These would be the "hook type". The blades that you have are Anco replacements, that were designed to work with either the "hook type" or the "spoon type". The "spoon type" has a flat end that is curved to look similar to a spoon. The end would slip into the adapter on your blades.

46, if you could give us a photo of the end of the arm where it attaches to the blade it woulld be helpful. I suspect you may be missing the adapter that goes from the arm to the blade.
