356C Wiper arms lenght ?

[Hugo Karasawa]

What should be the length of the wiper arms for a 356C.
The car had the long black ones, I bought repros and received the short silver ones.
Can you please tell me which ones are the correct ones.
Also what color should these be, black or silver ?

Thank You

Silver and according to the Stoddard catalogue, the arm is 236mm (644.628.301.12) and the blade is 280mm (644.628.311.12).

However, I would also like to hear from the more knowledgeable people on the Talk List to verify.

David and Mike, Thanks,
It seems the black ones have the right length. I will only need to paint those silver.

I just measured my wipers. Arm:180mm's; blade: 170mm's, essentially the same as David's. They are Bosch, not SWF's but that shouldn't make a difference in lengths.
