searching for short wiperblades
I’m planning to use mini wiper mechanism, but the original wiperblades are to big. Searching on the internet I found a picture of a Donkervoort D8
with some nice short blades. Who can tell me which other car used this type of blade? Or has a better solution?

Got some from the Premier wiring stand at Newark. IIRC they were £2.00 each, just had to shorten slightly using a good pair of tinsnips

Dax do some adjustable length arms and matching blades, not the cheapest but easy.

It's important to get the right wiper arm. Some of them are "spoon-ended" and some are screw-on, whilst others are
"blade". The ones shown are the flat unsprung type (as said you can cut them down). You can get the more normal looking sprung ones....
Try CBS. But also look at the Tex auto website. You can but stuff off them direct. They do sprung blades from 8" up.... If you're using
spoon ended wiper arms and need some 9" or 10" blades let me know (I needed 8"!!).....

I’ve found them (very cheap) at a local boat shop here in the Netherlands. And fit onto the mini wiper arms.
www.holden.co.uk sell them to.
Thanks!
