1973 Nissan 240Z build update

Jul 30 · Fix wiper blades

Successful prototype of a wiper arm adapter. 3D printed and tested.

The original 1973 arm is a female pin that locks on the arm. The wiper blade has the matching male pin.

This design went away and the only pin wiper arm option new are female connections.

Now to 3D metal printing or machine shop to remake these in metal. Looking for reasonable pricing for either option.

Nice work! I’ve heard good things about the affordability of metal 3d printing through Craftcloud. It was way cheaper than expected

Thanks for the lead on Craftcloud. They were much cheaper than Protolabs. I have ordered 2 parts in 17-4 SS.
