Well Neil, I've been told that the B's sold in the US had 3 wipers
starting in 1969. It seems that our government required a certain
percentage of the windshield area had to be swept by the wipers; and the
two wiper B's didn't meet that requirement. Oh where would we be without
our government looking out for us?
Good to see you on the list.
Before you buy that B check for rust, very expensive to fix.
