Pffft, lazy bugger

They're dead easy to instal and worth every penny.

Now, if they could just design some that don't levitate when 'making progress' I'd be even happier.

I fitted them on my last Chim - definitely tidies the wipers up and work fine. They're on my list of 'to do's ' on this one - think they only cost about £15 and someone had some pics on here last year showing them IIRC...

All I see in that post and on your profile is a fotango notice saying this service is unavailable where the pics should be - I am also thinking of getting the set but want to see pics first !

Regarding price I just got this email from Leven:

Blades and arms delivered are £58.12
Blades only £30.00 delivered.

Hopefully leven will get a pic up soon !

I fitted mine a couple of weeks ago and they are great! Easy to fit (I bought the arms and blades as the arms were getting a bit manky) They give much better coverage and look the business!

When you say blades and arms, i take it you mean the whole wiper assembly (that fits onto the splined shaft?)

If so, 58 quid....for a pair....thats pretty good!

Fitted mine just before LeMans. Full kit including arms and legs - I mean blades. Very simple to fit but I managed to damage a washer nipple. Just the tiny plastic moulded bit - the rubber tube was a tight fit and I think I bent the nipple removing it.

Anybody know if this nipple is replaceable?

You may have to wait quite a while for leven to get the pictures up, but why wait. They look essentially like the originals except the washer system is a lot neater and works better and they are curved to follow the line of the windscreen better than the originals as well. Before I replaced them the hinged part on my old set that fits over the splined nut was also turning grey so replacing these with new black ones was an added bonus. If they were pants I am sure they wouldn't be getting universal support on the forum.

Fantastic piece of kit, dead easy to fit (took me about 10 minutes) and a big improvement. PoD, if you've got a loop of plastic tubing with holes for jets clipped onto the arm, that's the original equipment. Will try and post photos but I know someone has already done this (think it's Podie)...
Anyway, well worth the money, about £26 for the blades.
Oops, should have updated before posting, it looks like Podie has beaten me to the post by a long way!
Sorry to duplicate messages...
