Where to find a wiper arm

Post by cog »

Hi all,

Another bit on my 330 needed. The splines have broken at the base of one of my wiper arms. As you can see, I've tried tapping and securing with grub screws, but driving a bit quickly and the arm ends up half-way up the windscreen! I've tried Suzie who's close to me, but she hasn't got one. Anyone any ideas?

There are fitting substitutes from Tex in the UK. Not original but close. That is what some F related shops offer.

Thanks Chris

There's no obvious candidate as all the makes seem to be British. I'll call them on Monday.

You would need to choose the splined bajonette fitting and choose left or right crank as well as length. This information should be on their site. I know that GTO sells them.

Hope it helps

I spoke to Tex Automotive today. It seem that they don't do anything to fit the 7mm splines from my wiper motor. All their stock is 14mm. They did point me to Europa Specialist Spares who do an adapter. I've ordered a couple - hope they work.

If they are British made, has anybody checked British made cars like MGBs, etc.

The wiper pivots for the 330gt are from a MGB .

Hi Rob

When you sat "wiper pivots" you presumably mean the base of the arm? If they are MGB, do they have the 7mm splines? At the moment I can only find adapters to go 7→14mm , no wipers with the 7mm spline.

I don't know if my current wiper arms are correct - they maybe too long. The measure 32cm hinge to hinge - can anyone tell me the correct length?
