In response to Kevin's inquiry,
one person replied:
All of the wiper arms I have ever gotten with a stock alpine were stainless
steel...Some of the aftermarket ones may be chrome plated steel I don't
know
And someone else replied:
To the best of my knowledge, all Alpines & Tigers came with chrome wiper
arms, the stainless type are replacements after Lucas discontinued the
chrome
ones.
Now I need to add a level here. On my very very late SV, the arms are
certainly stainless. My dad's Tiger has chrome looking arms, but I believe
they are just higher polished stainless, not chrome plated. I will also ad
that the arms on my SV bend in a little different position and rest much
nicer against the bottom edge of the window. I do not know if the ones on
my SV were replacements.
Anyway, here is another item to throw into the pot. In looking for my
extra wiper arms for Kevin, I came across one that bends the opposite way.
That is, my SV ones rest on the passenger side, while the one I found is
bent to rest on the driver's side (that's for us US folks). Did any of the
cars go the other way? Is this something that can be changed?
