correct wipers for 76 spider



Greetings,

 I have a 76 spider with what looks like an un-original windshield wiper 
and arm setup. I show the car and would like to have the correct setup 
but I'm not sure what it is. 

 This car has stainless (silver) wiper arms with black wiper blades. 
There also seem to be missing caps over the nuts that mount the wiper 
arms to the shafts. I've tried to find stainless wiper blades to go with 
the arms and haven't been able to. 

 Can someone tell me if the stainless steel arms are correct for a 76 
spider? or did someone just put them on from an older car.

 If the stainless was correct, does anyone know of a source for 
stainless wiper blades?

 What were the missing caps like? plastic? black?

 I suppose I could switch to later model black arms and blades but all 
of the other trim on the car (except the mirror and bumpers) is 
stainless steel and I don't think that would look right. 

I've had Triumphs with stainless wiper assemblies and getting parts is 
no problem but when I tried to order them for this car I was told that 
they weren't available.

Thanks in advance for any information.
