Hi guys,
If you are offended by reading an email about non-Tiger, please stop hereand delete.  I am just reaching out to the broader English car world tohelp us find a missing part.
We purchased a 1962 Elva Mk6 sportsracer, and we're in the process ofrestoring it.  There were only 28 of these made.  When new, the ones set upfor FIA racing had a windshield wiper.  None of the current cars still havethe wiper.  Our car was set up for FIA racing and in fact did FIA racing.So we want to get that wiper again.  It is super short - not just the bladebut the arm too.
Attached is a picture of our car in period.  It's about the best picture ofany of the cars showing the wiper.  Anyone have any thoughts?  I've lookedat every MG, Triumph, Morris, Jaguar, etc., that I can find.  And gone toall the suppliers and looked at their catalogs.  Nothing jumps out as smallenough.  It is possible that they got one of the stock ones, and just cutit down.  Someone just said that ironically one of the smallest arms he'dseen was on a big Healey.  Note too that ours was not the only one that wasall black.
Thanks for any thoughts.  And apologies to anyone offended.
