Where might I purchase windscreen wiper blades/cartridges for my MKIII '74 Midget? Three very tiny ones . . . :cryin:

Thanks!
 
Try Peter at World Wide Auto Parts https://www.nosimport.com/

His phone is 800-362-1025 or 608-223-9400. He is in Madison, WI. He is out today for a family commitment but will be back tomorrow. I have bought many parts from him.
 
Or... you may be able to buy some 21" generic refills and cut them to fit.

that's exactly what I did. I did have to hunt around a bit to find just the right shape, I ended up getting them from carquest and cutting them down.

I heated up the end of a needle nose pliers and used them to pinch/melt some of the plastic, this held the actual rubber blade in place after cutting the blade down.
 
Next time I'll try the blade cutoff thing, a great money saver.

The cartridges cost $11.92 each at Victoria British, plus shipping. Not cheap, but my wiper arms were very tatty and one was bent so I went with new ones.

Thanks again, everyone! :thumbsup:
