Greetings all,

I'm after 2 wiper arms & blades for a LandRover Series IIa. The arms for a
series III are too long. Anyone got any ideas for anywhere to get some, or
happen to have a couple going spare?

TIA

Chris

Are you sure? The wheelboxes are in the same position on a SIIa and
SIII. You'd need slightly shorter ones for a Series II with individual
wiper motors though.

ISTR that the replacement arms from Paddocks can be varied in length too.
They arrive "retracted" and you have to pull the arm bit out of the driver
end to the required length. It's like a little ratchet thing.

Mine has the individual motors, so yes I'm sure - I've tried!

My 2A (with individual motors) has the retractable type ones. As far
as i know the place i bought em from only sells the one type of wiper
for both S3's and 2's.

Well, it turns out that Paddocks aren't able to get hold of the adjustable
ones (or original S11a ones). Does anyone have any other sourcing
suggestions?
