I assume you mean the w/w ARMS (and the nuts holding 'em on)..

You can still get the w/w arms (and nuts) at Mazda dealerships - you'd be paying top dollar, and waiting for them to be shipped. But you can probably get these parts at a local RX-7 junkyard for much cheaper.

Post a "Wanted to Buy" message on 1st Gen parts forum, I bet someone will come to your rescue.

Also, lately on eBay someone has been selling restored ones.

If you're talking about the blades themselves, the stock wipers are too short to work as well as they should, particularly the driver's side. I used a blade that was a couple of inches longer than stock on the driver's side, and it works much better than the stock length.
Here in Oregon, that's important. -WG

Yes, an 18" blade works good on the driver's side with a 16" for the passenger (they don't need to see anyway...)
