I'd have to look some things up; but as I recall the wiper blades from a MGA will fit the TR3 arms and are flexible (like modern blades) rather than being straight like the original TR blades. Used to be you could buy refills that were twice the required length and cut them in half; but I haven't done that in a long time. No wiper blades on the car ...

I have two sets -- the original style is on the car most days and a modern pair are in the boot in the (unlikely) event that it rains.
If you can find the modern ones (good tip on MGA) they are flexible and perhaps refillable though refills are getting hard to find -- they mostly want to sell entire blades.
RainX is, of course, my first line of defense and works well in light rain.

We get a lot of rain up here and sometimes I actually needthem to work. Around here people call tr3 wipers cheap jewelry. Over the years Ihave acquired some odd aftermarket blades from different tr3s. One of them, I thinkamco, has a spring built into the arm that holds the blade tight, but I onlyhave the one. The guy at Nappa said, come on down with your old stuff and maybewe can find some kind of filler or something. I bought some NOS tr3 ones online that are flexible, but I think they are tr4 or maybe VW. Thanks forlooking around Randall; I will look into the MGA stuff.
On another note, if I type in Word and copy past the marginscome out wrong, any suggestions from the computer guys?

I'm not a computer guy anymore but perhaps if you save the Word document in 'plain text' it will do better. That should remove any formatting (and there is a lot of imbedded formatting in the above message).
You may need to save the close & open again to get the benefit of the plain text.

All the TR original style wiper blades just smear the rain all over my windscreen. So I bought 8" long blades from Holden in England that are standard on the MG Midget. Google Holden UK auto parts.

The wipers I bought from Holden in UK were 8" long - like the original ones for the sidescreen TRs. I had a choice and bought the ones with the "spoon" fitting to slip right onto the arms I have on my 1958 TR3A.
