Don't think anyone makes those anymore..... Its tough enough to find ones with the correct length without buying from a vehicle vendor. (sic: Special Edition etc.) How do he know???
Maybe Teby will post a picture of his wipers .... they probably cost a buck or two but they are gorgeous
How about these:

www.sierramadrecollection.com has a lot of nice stuff for our cars!!!
That SM one looks like its for a '58-64 small diameter VW wiper motor shaft and won't fit the more recent larger VW shafts. You have to get ones that match the shaft - early are small smooth with set screws, later are splined with bolt or tapered splined with nut. Some have aftermarket wiper assemblies too.
As Wofgang said, you have to look for what fits the wiper motor/assembly (that's why it's important to know what year donor car your stuff came out of), not what's right for the car (remember, these are "recreations", and the Porsche part will not necessarily fit). And I was under the impression (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) that Sierra Madre was on the pricey side for Porsche parts...Al
not sure about the fit, but they are listed under the "Replica Cars" heading on their website...and Yes, I think SM is on the pricey side for most of their item 
What Dan says plus 1. Also I seem to run into BO, here more often than other suppliers.

BO?
Back Ordered? I'm very happy with Ed at Klasse356 - often stuff comes with Stoddard label on it.
Wolfgang is correct. Back order.
These wiper arms in the 356 world are called pickle forks. They can occasionally be found @ the 356 Registry website. But as previously mentioned the shaft size can keep these from fitting. That's good though, I've seen them @ 356 Registry for $400.00
Thanks guys; I learned something today!
Last pair of pickle forks I saw was at the west coast holiday in Santa Fe were (ready for this) $1,200.00 I just have what Stoddard sells and they look very good, a lot cheaper too. 
That looks like a steal compared to the price of the genuine speedster key fob.
