Fitting the New Peter Gilbert Morgan 7" Wiper Blades.

 Fitting a set of the new Peter Gilbert Morgan 7" Wiper Blades.

These Blades are currently available in 7inch length for the 3 Blade cars and 6inch for the pre 1968 2 Blade cars.

Please Contact Peter at the email address above to establish availability and cost.

One of my new 7 inch blades.

The complete set of three new blades.

A very simple and speedy job to replace my blades. 

The new blades will adopt the same angle and sweep of the existing blades. 

Peter Notes:

Very often the arms need a slight tweak on the bend to ensure that they lay parallel when parked. You would think that the Dealers would pick this up on their Pre Delivery Inspection and sort it out.

It is quite amazing how different the wiper arms are bent to fit the Morgan Car, or not as the case may be in some cases. 

6" Blades have now arrived for the older 2 seater cars and are going down well but I only have a small quantity left.

This is considered to be perfect parking.

It may be possible to bend the arms to get them parallel with the bottom of the windscreen then adjust the arm on the splines to re position. 

There are different arms in use on some models. The Splines are the same but some arms have a spring clip to hold them in place. Others have a screw fitting. 

This owner did 'fine tune' each arm by bending the part arrowed in the photo above so that they now function and park beautifully.

It is never straight forward with a Morgan.

Perhaps leave well alone if they work ok. 

The wiper blades can be easily replaced.

It would appears that my own offside blade could need a little tweak to get it to park parallel. 

However, I will not be tinkering with anything to change the blade arm angles until the blades have been used during heavy rain.

Some user Comments from Talk Morgan.

- For all those interested in Peters new 6" wiper blades for the shorter windscreen I have just fitted a set to my 4/4 and they do not appear out of place and do not look too chunky. They are well made and I am well pleased.

- Yes I agree they are brilliant well worth the money!,,,

- On my car the passenger side is 6 inch whilst the rest are 7 inch as the 7 inch fouls the frame at the top of the arc. The 7 inch worked perfectly on my S1 Roadster. It transferred them to my Brooklands and the n/s one had the blade crossing the screen frame at the top of a stroke. I have a 6 inch unit now that I will test when I collect the car Wed. 

- I agree too, much better quality. Why doesn't the factory fit these?

- Excellent....

- Had to use my wipers with the 6 inch blades today in a heavy downpour mixed with hail.
Must confirm they are really excellent.
Can recommended them.

- The wiper blades are brilliant, much better than my modified Bosch wiper blades. I do have adjustable length wiper arms but I can not find a position that does not let the end of the rubber hit the chromed screen frame at full wipe. Before I order a wiper motor gear with a reduced sweep can anyone tell me what the gear that I should order would be?

- First drive in really heavy rain today, with the new wipers.
WOW...
Proper wipers.....no smearing, just clear wipes on forward and back strokes....
Thanks Peter, possibly the best mod I've made...!!

- Agreed they are brilliant.
