7.5" Caterham Wiper Blades
Barkalarr - 15/5/14 at 01:33 PM

Anyone know where the best place to buy caterham 7.5" wiper blades?

I've tried caterham but they want a silly amount for the blades and a silly amount for the post....

I bought some "classic mini" ones, but they're 10" and apparently you can't buy 7.5" blades anymore ???

How about head lamp wipers like THESE?

I looked at these, but my wiper arms have just a blade on them, sadly they don't have the attachment for connecting to these ones.

can you not just get the rubber refills? they just cut to length.

edit. They are probably quite different to normal blades? Pic would help.

Thats what I did with my little Westfield wiper blades, they work great

My problem is the wiper has broken at the pivot point. The rubber is fine, the metal has snapped.

Picture or a link to the relevant part on Caterhams website will help.
