Wiper Pivot 39.5mm and 47.1mm

[mokeefe]

Hello,

 

Took my wiper mechanism apart and putting it back together, cannot remember which pivot arm is left and right.  The pivot arms are different lengths and marked 39.5 and 47.1

 

Did not find anything under search and wonder if anyone can have a look to let me know which side (driver or passenger - to avoid confusion) is short and which is long.

 

Thanks

on my car (76), passenger side measure approximately 60mm (overall flat plate). On the driver side there is hardly any space to measure.

Thank you Buckeye.  I measured 64mm and 56mm on the same measurement you illustrate above.  I also have a 76.

 

The 39.5mm and 47.1mm measure the center of pivot pin to center of ball.  

 

So will use the longer one on the passenger side and the smaller one on the drivers.

 

Regards

Think I commented about this in the old "articles under construction" for wiper refurbishment.

 

If you wire wheel the original wiper pivots, the length is stamped into them.

 

Left pivot

 

Right pivot

Believe the stamped distances are center to center - not overall length.

Alright, the center to center i figured out.  Still unanswered is which one goes where.  In your photo i cannot decipher the right side so clearly.  Thank you.

On my ‘76, the 47.2 is on the driver’s side. The 40.8 is the passenger side.
