Window wipers

[lambrettatastic]

Looking to sort out my tatty wipers… had a look at all the usual places to buy new, can’t see 68..? Are these another hard to find part, is there an alternative? Are the spindles the same?
do I just paint up the ones I have, and buy new blades? Lots to learn!

I'm with you on this—Butty's Bits does a wiper spindle seal kit but that's as far as my research has gone so far.

1968 wiper spindles and arms are one year only.
If yours are OK, just refurb, reuse and fit new blades.

Thank you…what I suspected…a nice little winter job

I snapped a spindle on mine and found a nos replacement online pretty easily. The blades can be found as generic items in Halfords etc. Just refurb the rest as required and cherish them ... pretty expensive to replace these days.
