    Series I wiper blades

    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.

    Just got a reply from a company in the UK and I can get them to Australia for approx $16 each if I buy 10off.
    That's the correct flat blade, spoon end, 250mm (close enough to 10").

    Anyone interested ???

    Unfortunately there is then freight this end (which will take longer than it does to get from the UK !).
