[Spits] '77 Spitfier wiper blades??

[Richard Gosling]

The original wipers were shiny metal (I'd guess aluminium since they didn't
rust and weren't shiny enough to be chromed) and had a sprung hinge in the
middle.  This helped the wipers cope with the curve of the windscreen -
particularly on the drivers side, where the bottom corner doesn't get wiped
with off-the-shelf replacements because they won't bend round to reach it.

My DPO replaced these originals with standard off-the-shelf replacements,
but I found a pair of the original sort in the used spares at TRGB (Triumph
specialist near Cambridge).  I then replaced the rubber in these with new
rubber from an off-the shelf wiper.  I'm pretty certain they are not
available new.  I have no idea if these were used throughout production
either - all I know is I found these things in a box of bits at TRGB and
they were good!

Sorry, I don't remember the length (and I can't measure it - the car died of
rust about 5 years ago now :-(  )
