This spring when I needed new blades for my `60 Saratoga I was able to buy refills of the correct size, and slightly bend the holding tangs to accomodate the newer thinner style. I don't remember why, but the ones I bought were too long, yet I was able to snip them off cleanly with a pair of Sears wire cutters. I am really impressed with their fit and function now.
