MGB MGB wipers

[Newkie]

Is there a technique of using normal run of the mill wiper blades from the local parts store that can be configured to work on the OE wiper assembly for a 1973 MGB roadster?
Or do I need to just order the blades from one of the mail order sites?

Thanks in advance

P.S. Its been a long time on the site, good to see it is still up and running strong!

I don't know how true this is as I haven't tried them but, I think someone said Model A Ford blades are the same. If they work, their probably cheaper. Look for a Model A Ford parts site and check the mesurments and connecting hardware. PJ

If you're just talking about replacing the rubber, I have had good success using standard ANCO blades (cut to the proper length) on the stock wipers. If you want more info, shoot me a message or reply here.

PS: The "rubber" shipped on the replacement blades that Moss Motors sell is HORRIBLE. It's more like vinyl than rubber and really works poorly.

Your going to have to do some digging in the wiper isle. You need to find a blade with the bayonet style adapter. According to Anco the 31-10 is the one that fits the MGB.

Plus $8.95 for shipping - might be worth it if they would send half a dozen for that shipping rate.

For years I would snipe wiper blade inserts from my old man. He drove Lincolns, one of his inserts (Amco) would make two for the MGB. :wink:

...but that was a two-wiper MG, old style blade holders.

yes these SOBs always charge 4x the rate to ship...yea like it's being carried over the Atlantic on the Mayflower!!
