Rotus wiper blades and arms?

[Donnie]

The stock numbers on my Rotus build sheet are out of date. Anyone have any current ones that fit? Thanks.

If I knew the answer I would say, but Im not sure myself.  But its not hard to find out.

I can't imagine these being any different that what has been used on the Lotuses and Cats, being taken from an older Leyland or Rover group vehicle.  The wiper assembly is one of the things that hasn't changed much over the years. 

Weale states, "those resembling the Mini".

The notes I have are:

Blades: Moss # 164-640

Golden Gate lists the S2 motor as Lucas DR3A 75801.

Old Cat patrt #s, which are often generic OEM:

Motor 74> 60027020

Wiper arm RHD 74> 120460SEFB

Wiper arm LHD 74> TWA14

Wiper blades 74> 205415SEHE

Wiper blades Bosh sprung 90035685

Wiper wheel box 74> 72872

Wiper ferrule 74> 54704623

Lotus/ Cat owners manual reprint: 

Wiper blade: 8413

Wiper arm: 7862

Wheelbox: 7858

Wiper motor: 7301

(Probably Lotus #s)

These part numbers may help lead you to the OEM vehicle.

I believe the Rotus wiper arms and blades are from an Austin Healey, Triumph, or MG.  My memory wants me to claim they are Spridget parts.

 

These guys show the 193-8208 wiper blades as fitting the 1961-1968 MG Midget:

The blades which came on my car have clearly been trimmed to length; suggesting there are longer alternatives.

 

Are your arms missing/damaged?  Let me know if you need pictures.
