Default 49 wipers

Are 49 wiper arms reproduced?

My wipers have a shaft about 1/4 inch that is serrated to insert into the wiper arm. The repros I got from Macs are designed for an over 1/2 inch shaft

Before you pay that outrageous price, try getting a pair of new arms at O'Reilly Auto, P/N TRI 51-062. They come with the same adapters! (Those are the correct arm for an F-1, not sure if the cars used the same). I about fell over dead when I opened the pack and saw them (they give you two different adapters with each arm, only one is correct for the F-1).

I should have mentioned, theoretically you can buy just the adapters from ANCO, but I could never find anyone who sells them separately.
