Hi All,
Being a three wheeler owner im aware of the alternate parts list that has been developed. Is there a similar list for the Plus 4's?
My father has a 2007 car and is looking to do the breaks but is loathed to pay our dealer what seam to be pretty hiked rates for "morgan" parts.
All the best
Dave

On this subject has anyone got a third party source for the three wiper blades/arms. I'm interested in the ARP4 style matt black ones.

This is the search topic you can go to search and enter wiper blades in the topic and robbie in the person field - you'll see what was done -- the resultant blades actually now wipe the screen!!!
Cheers!

With regard to wiper blades, both Caterham and Westfield sell short blades, the Caterham ones are mat black but just a section of plain rubber in a holder, like the Morgan one, whilst the Westfield use a proper sprung blade and holder, but cost twice as much, I think £15 instead of around £6. I'm not sure if Westfield are chrome or black however.

I originally wanted black arms and blades for cosmetic reasons but this offers an opportunity to upgrade the blades to something that works. Can confirm although not cheap, that Westfield offer black 155mm arms and matching sprung 204mm blades. Need to measure up my OE ones now and check the wedge fittings are the same.
