Morris Minor Owners Club

I'm looking for black plastic wiper blades as opposed to the chrome ones, also black infill for the windscreen rubber, again as opposed to the chrome plastic variety. Can't anyone suggest a supplier please ?

I was expecting you to have some Dennis.

Black spray paint?

Actually Steve, that's not a bad idea, as there is still plent of life left in the ones fitted.

I sprayed a few chrome bits on my old Landrover when I 'de-blinged' it. Worked pretty well.

I have used Landrover arms black hooked cut down and welded to the right length and they now accept aero-flat blades.... much better and the 10/11" Mini blades fit nicely too

I don't really care what my blades look like but I DO want them to wipe the screen clear! After a disappointment with expensive "Tex" stainless steel blades which fell to pieces within months, I bought a pair of black "Lucas" blades which do a great job and cost less than £3.00 each from a local motor factors Part number is LWCB11 for the 11inch blade.

Thanks for posting that info, I'll see if my local factor have them.

Located these blades online but can't get a good view of how they fit to the arms. Do they slide onto the arms which are about 5 mm wide (what I consider the standard Minor fitment) or are they the type that fit an arm that ends in a U shape?

Les, mine fitted straight on to the original Minor 1000 arms as a direct replacement for the previous blades. Just seconds to fit
They don't look "original" but work well which is what I wanted. The blade carrier is metal but there is a plastic clip which attaches to the arm. I'll take a photo if I can.

Ok if that's no trouble, then I'll order some, thanks.
