Default I do enjoy the hunt for 'new' parts
Just received two Trico wiper motors from U.K.
These are NOS, having never been opened until the seller released one from its 68 year tomb to be photographed for sale. I am reasonably sure they are suitable for Blitz. They certainly are Ford, and part number is C-01-Q-17505.

Is anyone able to confirm these are correct type, as per original?

Is it just me, or is there a certain kind of beauty in 1940's military packaging!



P.S: Anyone able to tell me what the correct wiper arms are, or have a photo I can see?
