Default Wipers for a 36

I hope this picture works.
Has anyone got any idea how these repro wiper arms from Macs are supposed to fit.
The spring appears to be far too long and strong.
Also the small "saddle " thing doesn't appear to be strong enough to do anything.
Is it worth persevering with them?
I like their simple appearance.
I want to use them as a pair.

I have had the same problem. I looked back and found this thread about it. "Help needed with early style wiper arms"
I don't know how to put a link to the post but search for it. The real problem you and every '36 owner has is finding a good wiper arm. Mac's didn't have it, it just did't work for me.

Thanks everyone for answering.
I now know how it should fit but that spring seems much too strong.
