I've been looking for wiper blades for my series I & IIa that have the spoon end fitting but the flat (non sprung) blade.
Seems we are down to NOS (wonder what the rubber will last like) because I can't find anyone who has them, I'm being told they are no longer made.
I found some in the UK but they were quite expensive (approaching 20GBP each).

So I found the 'spring' type with a spoon fitting, tracked down a company in Queensland that lists them (TruVision) in 10".
So far I have had prices of $40 each, $32 each & $16 each !!! Same part number, same part !

Just placed an order with a company in SA who quoted $16each. When I queried the price I was told "yes, some people are greedy....."
I've just found another supplier of the flat blades in the UK, price was just over $10 each. I'll check they have stock and may order some in.
