Get CBS telescopic/adjustable wiper arms. You state that you now are nowhere near the top of the screen. By elongating the arm so you are just a couple of mm away from the top, you might get rid of the overlap at the bottom. You could buy just one to try it out. If it works, get two more - if not, well - they are not expensive. Good call - didn't realise they did them. Now on my wishlist (will have to wait until after payday!). Only need two - mine has a two wiper set up. There you go: https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/stainless-steel-adjustable-right-park-wiper-arm. As stated in the ad, you might have to cut a little of the upper portion to get the whole thing short enough for a Morgan screen. Two minutes with a hack saw. CBS also has a left-park version. Good luck.

Used my new blades in anger in a shower yesterday. What a difference it was to see through a clean screen.

Question for Peter (MR11MOG) but may be of interest to all...
As we all get out and about, there is likely to be interest in these blades from non-tm’ers. Is there sufficient stock to offer out to the “general public” and if so, how would they go about ordering? Or could a tm’er order on behalf of a friend? or any thoughts of using ebay?

Thanks Deejay I have plenty of blades as a substantial number had to be ordered to get them made. I have posted on a few Morgan FB sites . May also put an add in Miscellany as I now have a batch of 6” blades on there way for the older 9stud hood cars . So I will be able to offer the same blade in 6” and 7” versions . Thanks to every one who ordered and so pleased they are working as well as expected.

Many thanks Peter
Arrived this morning. Fitted. Tested. Perfect. No overlap on lower screen edge. The last set of blades I bought overlapped the lower edge of the screen substantially - to the extent that I cit an inch off the lower end of each blade. Yours fit perfectly.
You have achieved something that MMC have failed to sort.
Well done.
Wish I could say the same! Mine arrived this morning and on fitting noticed that the driver side rubber was overlapping the screen, so I trimmed 1/8 inch off and it just about cleared. Then on full arc, they were all fouling the bottom frame of the screen, the middle one by a good 10mm. So I adjusted all the arms on the splines as much as possible so that they park a little lower, and that has improved but still not perfect. I notice that these “ 7 inch “ blades actually measure 7 3/8 inches! If only they were 7 inches the issue would be resolved but it is not possible to cut the fouling ends any shorter. Maybe this is yet another Morgan thing but would be interested to see how others get on? My wipers arrived some days ago. I have to say that I have a similiar problem on my (Rhd) car. The left wiper overlaps on the left side of the frame. Here it is possible to cut a small piece from the "upper" part of the rubber. The wiper in the middle overlaps the frame on the bottom about 8-10mm. So it is impossible to cut the rubber on this wiper. I try to find some rivets that connect the different parts of the wiper and hope to find how to solve this problem. Ms. BMGermany does not like the sound when wipers hit the frame!

As you will see from previous threads, there are two easy solutions: 1.Adjustable wiper arms 2. Lower gearing on the wiper motor...I went from 130 to 120 degrees, the reduced sweep is hardly noticeable, but the blade hitting the frame has been cured. Trying to re-rivet seems a difficult job.
