Have to admit I skipped over TeriAnn's posting when I saw that it
related to her MGB so I'm more or less guessing at what her original
question about wipers was, but here goes anyway.
One problem I have with my '70 VW bug is that wiper blades only seem to
last about a season and I have yet to find an auto parts store that
carries just the rubber replacment portion. So what I do is buy the
next size longer rubber and cut it down. If the size of your B blades
is odd and you can't find the whole replacement assembly you might want
to try this too. In a pinch it'll get you by.
