Re: I want to see clearly now

Beaulieu autojumble had still-boxed new old stock wiper blades a-plenty last year. I don't know if the dealers do on-line sales but it is worth a deeper search than the usual Minor parts suppliers or 'pop' down to the up-coming Beaulieu auto jumble and `moggyfes't too.

Re: Car covers…

I have a similar garage and bought a Carcoon to go inside. It is a drive-in version so unzips at the end (and sides if necessary.) Like you, No electricity so I mounted a small PV panel on the roof which charges a battery and powers the small fans in the carcoon. Dry and moisture free, albeit not ch...

The car is not concours, nor do I aspire to owning a museum piece simply like original look, I have the connectors from an equally (Much worse) geeky fellow owner and the battery posts have been drilled by the supplier which is Shield batteries. Not cheap but looks the par...

Re: Door draught excluder

When fitting I use dabs of evo-stik in areas where it is difficult to crimp the metal of the DE. When trimming it, a very sharp cutter is needed and some clear spray glue is useful on cut-ends to stop the cloth fraying. I am not sure whether they were original but my car has 6" metal rub strips...
