My '91 uses 13mm nuts to tighten them down,
 so the threads don't strip as easy as early models with 10mm nuts.
 I'm not sure when they started that but might as well upgrade if you are replaceing the whole thing.

Thanks for the suggestion. I guess it's a good excuse to start looking through the junk yards around here. ;D ;D

The reason I say good luck is I needed new ones for my old MK3 and no where I could find could get me new. Let me check tomorrow with a buidddy and see maybe if he can get them new but tehy may be pricey

I know that if I can find them around here they should still be in good shape. The problem is that old VW's that aren't bugs aren't as popular out here either :o

Red Loctite.   Clean all the metal filings out of the ridges first.  I've got over 1 year on mine.

Go to NAPA and you can get the arms, I checked here and they have it here so you can get it in the US
