    Berlinetta wiper arms and blades

    Hi folks. Looking to replace wiper arms and blades on Mk4 Cortina based Berlinetta.
    Previous owner or builder cut original arms down AT THE TOP!
    So blades are just stuck on with a bit of silicone sealant!
    Want to source some 11 inch arms that will fit the Cortina Mk 4 wiper bosses,
    and some blades of about ten and a half inches long that will fit the arms.
    Any suggestions of where to source please?

    (Back in the day) 1984 onwards when we were building Berlinettas cutting the arm down at the top was the accepted method, and nothing wrong with that. If you removed the black coating on the arms you found they were stainless, so polished up very well. We then made a choice of what blades were available. Today there is an even better selection available . So you could either use your cut down arms and find blades that will fit the ends, or source arms and blades of your choice. Car builder soloutions, Stafford vechicle products, just to name two. There are boss converters to BL type available that opens up the choice even further. Which Berly have you bought. Best regards Danny
