Fast forward 4½ years and 22,000 miles, I'd been looking for some time to upgrade the Caterham wiper blades above to sprung ones. Problem was I initially couldn't find any suitable in black. Westfield used to offer but their online shop is shut for obvious reasons following the companies demise. Checked with Peter and he only had stainless. Pleased however to stumble on these very similar 8 inch (204mm) ones from Tex Automotive.

Although a little longer than Caterham ones I calculated the sweep should just fit the screen providing max possible swept area.

Bayonet fitting identical so quickly fitted to Caterham arms. Test revealed the sweep missed screen surround by just over ⅛" at the top but o/s one just slipped over the vertical edge so snipped a smidgeon of rubber off corner of that blade.
