I have run out of patience with the windshield wiper arm and blade. I cannot figure out how to get those two items to connect to each other without bending the metal.
I may have to send it off to get someone to connect them together for me.

Wiper goes between the forks of the arm and the half circle piece goes in the slot...
You are very close in the picture...
Hope this helps...

Ok here is the result of swinging the blade on around.
The metal tab on the arm is bent down at a 45 deg. angle now. Looks crappy to me. I was trying to avoid bending it, but that's they way it goes!

What do you mean Hal?
Trying to get jeep an trailer to Little Rock, or wondering where your going to put the trailer and jeep when you get there.
I have put a few more photos of my jeep in gallery with seats mounted and the numbers and stars painted on.
I'm going to have to take my hood back off and make some adjustments on it. It is jacked up at the cowling.
