Title: 10" wiper blades
Post by: Hugh on April 25, 2015, 05:52:46 PM

I'm looking for a pair of 10" wiper blades to replace my Rainbow ones that are perished. Will Bosch blades fit as long as I get an Universal Adapter ?

Thanks Ben & Shaggy.

Do your Jon Speed/RHD Mini blades have the same attachment 'slots' as the one in my image ?

If I make it to Stoneleigh i can always take one off and wander around the stands....

Hugh,

Hugh it look like you have a hook end arm rather than the more used blade push on.
Europa spares may have some and will deliver to stoneleigh.

Yes 'hook end' would describe it well. I will look into Europa stuff although its possible that Ben's JonSpeed tip also solves my need.

Thanks as ever.

I used the mini wiper arms, adapted to length and adapted to use the vw spindle mounts

Thanks Ben. I'm not as adaptive and enterprising as you so will look into Snoopys tip about Europa blades. Rain seems fairly scarce around here so I probably can manage without wipers for a week!

Hugh you can get spindle adaptors to go from a straight wiper shaft to the modern multi spline fitting arms then you can get adjustable length arms with blade fittings. It is worth a look on earlier posts about wiper arm and blades

Worth a look at these as well ... they seem to have quite a selection

Golly now I'm spoilt for choice.

Love the rotating wiper display on the Car Builder web site....but I had already followed Snoopys advice and searched 'wiper blades' on this site (should have done so earlier rather than assumming no one would have asked such a specific question) and found Snoopy himself had pointed out years ago that Motoring Classics sell just what I want, so ordered from there.

Thanks.
