Wiper fitment identification ?
bob - 6/6/08 at 02:53 PM

Can anyone identify the fitment on these wiper blades in the premier wiring link below ?

premier link

At the moment i buy 10" flat blades with the lucas fitting from premier then cut them down to 8" a bit like the advert in the link, i just wondered what the fitment was in the 7 and 8" blades they sell.

Bizarre! It's not a standard blade or spoon fitting....

Yes its a strange fittment, i dont mind cutting down the 10" blades but it would make it easier if i could just fit a stock 7 or 8" blade which can be hard to find.

An old style standard slot & rubber peg fitting often used on Wipac vacumm driven wipers.
Sometimes found on boats.


I think it last used on the old Ford 93e Popular/Anglia.

Easy to cut down the 10" items that have standard fittings

Have you tried going to Tex auto.
They make many lengths and sell them direct....

As usual BT is the ofnt of knowledge, many thanks for the link.

Thanks also to ben for the tex auto tip.

I'll probably keep as i am as rusty said its easy to chop the 10" version, nice to know of some alterantive options.

BT you need to sort your avatar as its just a red cross at the moment

mhhh

i was at one stage in my build in a Bosch car service dealer and they just had a roll of wiperblade rubber.

They would cut it to lenght and just replace only the rubber on the wiper...

if you have in the uk a bosch car service then you could ask if they have....and costs offcourse..
