Overview
The windscreen wipers are about both the outside parts, and the linkage inside the passenger compartment.
Outside Parts: * Wiper Motor * Arms * Blades * "Refills" (Rubber inserts)
Inside Parts: * Linkage * Switch * Fuse
Location
B110 - below the Cowl seam line
B210 - above the Cowl seam line
Wiper Motor
As with the rest of the wiper system, the wiper motor for RHD and LHD are reversed. RHD models have the wiper motor on left side, just below the left bonnet hinge.

Wiper Blades, Arms and Inserts
The wiper arm is the metal part that goes back and forth
The wiper blade is the part that snaps into the arms and holds the rubber wiping insert. Datsun calls these two parts together the Blade Assembly
The wiper insert is the rubber strip (the refill) that fits into the blade.
Wiper Arms
The arms are the part outside the windshield, without the rubber insert/refill.

Wiper Blades
The blade is the metal part that holds the rubber inserts (refills). These two parts combined are called the blade assembly
Datsun 1200 uses 16" (405mm) wiper blades. The original blade was a stainless steel design marked "56L" on the bottom and "AE" on top. This blade takes 5/16" wide refills (9mm).
NOTE: Your 1200 may have had the original blades replaced at some point. Aftermarket blades may take a different type of rubber insert.
To separate blade from arm, insert knife as shown to lift up tab. Then pull the blade off the arm.
GX-5 option: For high-speed stability, it has a built-in wind spoiler

Refills
For stock wiper arms, the refills are 16" long x 5/16" "Universal" style.
Although many stores recommend a new blade assembly, upon request they may sell you a much more inexpensive refill. It takes another minute to feed the insert into the blade, but you can save a lot of money. Because the original Datsun 1200 blades are quality stainless steel, they still look good and operate fine. Aftermarket blades are plastic or cheap stamped steel that rust in a few years.
NOTE: over the years many 1200 blades have been replaced with quick-replacment blades. If so, the original style refills won't fit.
NOTE: If you have trouble sourcing 5/16 inch x 16" wiper inserts, you can replace the entire metal blade with a different type (see #Aftermarket Blades). The only downside is the extra cost, plus the style (looks) will be different. Replacing the inserts is less expensive e.g. $5 for inserts, $15 for blades.
