Wiper Arm Question 1998 U-320

1998 U-320

I need to replace a wiper arms.  Trying to narrow down the correct brand, size, and part number.  Called Foretravel parts.  They will sell the part, but not give info on the part.

When we bought our coach I had MOT put on new arms and blades.  They did a Frankenstein job of mixing old parts, new parts, and incorrect sized parts.  I'm trying to sort things out and get it right.

Our current arms are Sprague 28" pantograph arms.  The installed blades are 24" instead of the Trico 26" blades.

Are the Sprague 28" pantograph arms the correct length and brand of arms?  Will these work with Trico 67-261 26" blades?

Thanks for your help.

Chris

Mine are labeled Dyna (made in Brazil). They measure 28 1/2" (probably 28" center to center).

Jor,

Thank you.  I had seen Dyna as another brand.  I appreciate you putting a tape to it and measuring.  Thank you also for including the photos.  The top mounting bracket is different on the Dyna set.  I'll give those a look.

The Sprague models that MOT installed measure 28" center of rivet at the top of the arm to center of bolt hole at the base.  The wiper arm mounting bracket is riveted onto the top of the arms.

In your picture showing 28", it looks like the blade is actually 26".

Maybe this will help.  Topic: Wiper Problem 96 U270  If the topic does not show as a working link. Do a search for the topic.


edit: yes the link did not work, so you have to do a search for Wiper problem 96 U270.  I did eventually buy 2 new wiper arms and they were Dyna although I expected Wexco.  Just like the original.  No problem since the fix.

In the words of Dub Taylor. What we have here is a failure to communicate. ;D
The OP wanted to know where to buy and which wiper arm is correct for his U series. The link to the bus parts warehouse was my response to him. That is the part he needs.
