Wiper Blades

[Tim M]

Not wanting to pay $20 for one wiper blade assembly from FinshLine, I was looking for alternatives, and some say '69 - '72 MGB blades will work. Rock Auto has them, 11" long. I measured, they are 10"......what do you think?

More Rain X

I know that, but, since my car has the wipers installed, they are inspected as part of the vehicle inspection. And, since one of mine is missing, they failed it, but since I know the owner of the shop, they did pass it. I don't want to turn them on forgetting about the missing blade and scoring the windshield.

Victoria British shows blades for the 62-65 Triumph Spitfire being 10"

Wiper Components​

But Rock Auto shows them at 11"-13" The longer blade may work, depending on clearance to the top and edges of your windshield.

It's a balancing act. May fit or may not. Try going to a better stocked parts store and see if they have a 10" Trico Blade. CarQuest or NAPA. (Avoid Autozone and the other DIY stores, they just have the common stuff)
