Default Windshield wiper blades

Ok, I finished off the Newport 2 speed wiper motor install (all went great) I went to put the blade on the arms and cannot quite see how the mate up. I think I got the wrong one in.

Here is what I have, I have the factory original wiper arms and ordered two blades from LMC. I don't believe they will mate up.

That wiper arm look like a universal wiper blade. The wiper end has an adjustable head on it. I've use this in my past projects before.

James,

How do you connect these, IF I have the correct parts.

The wiper arm head will detach from the arm. Measure the width. It should be 5mm or 7mm. If it is 5mm then ANCO P/N: 47-63 might adapt the two together. See attachment. If not I look again.

An update,

In speaking with a good NAPA friend who really knows his stuff, NAPA sells a 12" replacement "classic" blade that has the same J-hook as my originals. We figured out that the pressure from the wiper arm hold the blade in place. The blades sold by LMC and others simply punch on the sheets and the metal protrusion snaps in the hole. The truck places are charging $14.99 each plus shipping the NAPA replacement if $6.00 ea.

Thanks for the info Jbgroby. It'll come in handy for me because the ones I got from LMC 2 years ago seem to be cheaply made.
