Can anyone recommend a place to get windshield wipers? I have a CMC, reg VW frame, etc, and have threaded wiper fittings.

Motorworks ,is a good source,for the black plastic ones. You can paint then if you wish. But I wanted chrome, I wandered the bug graveyards for months to find a decent pair to have plated. They will be done soon. I got the plasic ones from Motorworks on now. I will just pull my blades out of them when the new ones arive. But annco refills should still be avalible.
If your after an authentic looking set up, try getting some 1956-64 VW Bus wiper arms. The wiper bases are very simliar in appearance. The arms themselves need to be cut down and bent as per Porsche style. Remember, the arms are different lenghts from left to right.
The wiper blades themselves are still available from BOSCH for less than $50

Yes the early ones do look nearly correct, But I did upgrade just a bit. I used the spline mount type with the 10mm nuts and altered the arms to match the early ones. this way you dont have the set screws that were notorious for working lose. The drive unit is a 70 beatle.
