Does anyone know whether other blades fit - or whether we have signed an exclusivity agreement with Morgan for them! TR5 or TR6? http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/SubCategory--Wiper-Blades--m-13427

I have a tr6 and aero 8 in my garage, I can check this evening if you like?
I've an idea the aero wipers may be smaller
Try car builder solutions, they may have something.

Try Land Rover parts. I seem to recall seeing that the blades for early LRs are the same size but better quality.

I got mine from Europaspares & cut the blades down - they also do arms.

Hi Dodgyken, for clarity, the wiper blade I bought are replacements for the classic Morgan. I bought 8 inch/203mm blades manufactured by TEX. They have a bayonet fitting and will fit the narrow 5mm arm that is fitted to the classic car.
I believe other arms usually have a 5.8mm fitting.
I bought them from Holden classic car parts and they were around 10 GBP each, plus VAT and plus postage.
As Simon mentioned above Car Builder Solutions, who I just used this week, sell a selection of wiper blades. They sell 8, 9, 11, 12, 14 and 15 inch blades.

When Colin (Spanner Juggler) returns from his trip out today, he can post the link that several of us used recently.
These are uprated blades that fit a Series Land Rover , they are slightly too long , but a couple of hacksaw cuts and a little finishing, and they are great fit. A big improvement on the MMC sourced items for very little outlay in terms of both price (less than £10 per pair) and fettling. As they are sold in pairs and most of us need 3 , it is better to order 3 pairs and split the purchase with another owner.
The alternative is to follow Dave W's guide and convert to a later system which puts much more pressure on the blade and therefore wipes more cleanly at speed.

Hi Dodgyken are you asking about classic Morgan wipers? The clue is in the signature!! Aero 8 Supersport. I will measure them up tonight and then see if anything matches
