Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing Wiper blade replacements

Robbie, I bought a couple of 28 inch/ 72cm blades last month for this very job.
Have not got around to swapping over yet, so would be interested in how you did it.

Me too.

WAW,some wind screen.

Robbie. I would be very interested in the details and exactly what you used.

I will get around to some pictures and a commentary tomorrow -- just busy with other things today!

Right Folks,
This is the description of the "manufacturing" of replacement wipers: Photos attached.

Buy 2 Bosch 21in Superplus wiper blades - as per the photo attached "Donor Blade" - you need 2 as there are just 2 parts required on a blade and you need 3!!!!

Remove the actual blade from the wiper as per "wiper Disassembled"

Seperate the two smaller parts that grip the blade as per "Part required"

Now -- the tricky bit --carefully open out the centre of the part required so as both sides are parallel and then CAREFULLY drill the middle of the part so as to accept a 2.5mm bolt.

Take the original Morgan wiper blade - "original blade" and punch out the rivet holding the blade clip onto the actual blade so you now have the part that clips the wiper blade onto the wiper arm on the car. Drill out the pivot hole to accept the 2.5mm bolt

now bolt the original clip onto the new "part required" and use a small lock washer under the nut and "Locktite" the nut to the bolt , tight enough to still allow the part pivot.

Cut the new wiper blade rubber to length -- I got 3 new blades from the one donor there is a metal part in the middle of the blade so you need a sharp hacksaw!

you then slide the blade into the holder and crimp ONE of the ends of the holder(part required) -- JOB FINISHED

See the photo "Finished Wipers" in my next post(only allowed 5 files with each post!!) for the car with the wipers fitted. They really are an improvement on the originals

Cheers!

Folks the first post seems to have slightly botched the photos -- just click on each photo title!! Here is the photo of the finished article

Cheers!

Thanks for that Robbie, the refills I bought will not do, I will need to buy some blade assemblies.

Bumping this up as some may not have seen it!!

Great post, I'm off to the store today. Another cost savings project. SWMBO will be so pleased.

Thank
