Wanted R5 Wiper Arms

[Kevin Leaper]

Hi
Anyone got any front wiper arms for a late Mk1 R5?
Thanks

They will be hard to find, are yours missing or just damaged? Happy to measure mine for size, in case any or newer R5's may fit as an alternative?

Definitely hard to find - I've looked everywhere for mine! I don't think they came with the car I bought. A measurement of just the arm would help, I'm not too worried about originality - just want to drive the car and that's the only thing holding it back from a MoT now.

Cheers
Kev

The wiper blades themselves measure just under 14"/ 350mm.
The arm is angled just at the end, from the point the wiper would connect on the arm to its pivot point is approx 330mm. The spline would need to match as well, mine is 10mm a/f nut, 6mm thread, hope these are of help.......

Might be worth checking older minis, also Landrovers, but need confirming....
