Try these guys. If they don't have it or can't get it then they will be able to tell you where to go!!!

Jon, mentioned bolt on to them and they said no, however!! I have found a nice set of chaps on website buysellcortina, hope they do't mind me joining in (I am part cortina, but forgot to mention that) anyway I have picked up a second hand set for a fiver?
They trade many a part and may treat us as cannibals? they also have a list of part suppliers which is quite usefull.

Re: Wiper Arms

Have just been and collected a pair of very nice wiper arms and they don't fit (to long) they are from a MK4. Anyone help me! I have e-mailed Danny for guidence, wipers that came with kit look right length but wrong type (not bolt on)

You should have had email by now. but just in case, you have to shorten them! by how much depends on the blades you are using, but be careful measure three times and cut once! Also your mk 4 arms are probably black but under the black they are stainless.

Re: Wiper Arms

Again thanks Danny. Would you recomend Land Rover wipers as per manual or something else.
Would MK3 Cortina have done I know where there are a couple of new sets that may do for Sue

As long as the sweep area is okay and the end can be made to fit the arm any will do the job, but the landrover is fine. The mk 3 arm is a push fit onto a splined head different to the mk4, but I know of Berlinettas that are using them.
