Inspired by Scott's excellent article, I went over to my local VIP store
here in southern Maine, and the friendly salesman helped me find a wiper
"refill" that works.
It's a Tridon All Season-Plus 18 with an 83P-18R part number.
There's enough material to make four blades for a big Healey. The refill
includes a nice backplate that fits the holder on my BT7 perfectly. There's
a clip on one end to keep it in place. I used a hot soldering iron to
slightly deform the plastic on the other end to keep the blade retained.
Works like a champ.
