Let me know what the wiper arms/blades should be, I have a bunch of those.

He is looking for:

Arm, Wiper Assembly
Lucas® 745101 (Shelby American S1CS-17529-A, Lucas® service part 745071)
Single mono leaf spring. Lying free on the bench, mount facing up, the length is 10-5/8" from center of mounting pocket to tip. The new old stock one I measured had an 11° bend down towards the cowl about 1-1/4" from the tip.

Blade, Wiper Assembly (includes wiping element) ("RAINBOW" trade name BUT NOT MARKED "TRICO")
Lucas® 738124 (Shelby American S1CS-17529-B)

Element, Wiping (a.k.a. insert, rubber refill)
Lucas® 737919 or 738736 (see more below)
A.C. Cars is known to have used two lengths. The one in 8-1/4" overall was the most common but they also used a 9" version. One unknown chassis number new car clearly had one 8-1/4" element (believed to be an "8" inch Lucas® 737919 "RUBBER REFILL" and one 9" element (believed to be Lucas® 738736 "RUBBER REFILL")

Any preference on the COBRA steel bell housing version? There were ones made in 1963, in 1964, and everything else. Several versions in all between summer 1963 and around 1967. Otherwise, if I see something listed I will let you know.

Dan - The car was converted to race after purchase in June 1965 so I'd figure likely bought over the counter starting late summer into fall of 1965. Earliest remembrance from the 2nd owner was in 1969 we he brought it home for the first time, but he doesn't recall details - only it's presence on the car so I'm going with a 5 bolt later production housing was in it.

Later ones are much easier to come by.
