Which Wiper Arms/Blades

I am doing the finishing touches on the Siggy. The stock 69 wiper arms appear to be too short. What is everyone else using on their Manx?

73 base, 73 heads (1 cut in half almost to fit), piece of wire hanger for arm.

I went a different route this time and obtained some adapters from a kit-car supplier to adapt VW spindles to old British Lucas type. https://secure.visav.co.uk/avshop/produ ... rue&cat=37 
I then used classic Mini arms and blades, one left hand drive one and one right hand drive one; got a strange look from the parts guy!!! They're in nice polished stainless steel too which is a bonus!!! 
Note the genuine English raindrops!!!

I drove my buggy on a thunder storm last sunday without a top. I dont reccomend it... the windshield wipers were useless. I had better luck with a towel...

Sometimes wipers on the inside of the screen would be useful too!!!
