What is the part no for these Rover wipers.

[fv1609]

The proper wiper blades for my 1965 Shorland are no longer obtainable. They had no Rover number but were identified by Lucas 54700102 or Trico 205410E.

 

In the past I have just picked up single stud in the arm push on wipers & cut them to length. Easy seeing them at a dealer or stall, but internet ordering not so easy as everything is identified by part number & often with “image not available”.

 

So do the wipers below have the same fitting means as the standard wiper of the time? But I am not sure what is meant by “box fitting” (GWB128) or “stud fitting” (GWB127). I would prefer black as they are easier to paint than chrome, is there are identifying part no to distinguish that?

 

 

 

Thanks

Clive, have a look here, they do a range of wipers, they also do them in choice of black/stainless at reasonable price, no idea what the part numbers are.

 

If they are too long, use a set of tin snips to get them the right length, you then get a decent custom fitted blade for your particular screen!

Adam, yes I've always had to hacksaw them down. Where images are shown on these sort of items, it is never a very clear view of the exact fitting. Was that standard type if 50s/60s then? They are are bit expensive as I will need 2 pairs.

 

BTW do you need a stop light pressure switch on the pig servo? I have found some at £1.98 although postage costs more than that!

There is that bayonet type, and the "Peg" type that you need the rubber peg to hold it in place, i havent seen another type of fitting with that style of wiper blades, that particular website is quite reasonable, i have seen them at nearly £20 a pair!

 

Did you find the brake pressure switches on an e-bay shop, i already have one, just need to fit it as my lights are a bit unpredictable with the present switch, very reasonable price was considering buying more but where do you stop! (Brake...stop ....geddit?......i'll get my coat)

Adam with 4 wipers needed, I hoped these would do:

But no picture:argh: He seems quite reasonable on other prices & found him via a recommendation.

 

Wouldn't be a problem in the show season looking & comparing, but trying to distance buying is problem particularly trying to match up this hub for it.

 

Yes those pressure switches were off ebay I thought I bought his last two. Then next day he put up another five, so plenty to go round!
