wiper wonder
#3
I think that's a 30G, ex Box Saloon Dave? The wiper on my 1929 RK, believed to be original is subtly different:

This is the Trico or Trico-Folberth type. The picture is of a similar one i put on my 1927 Chummy, believing it to be correct but I have since found that the early wipers (1926/7) were different again.

Or is it another case of Austin fitting whatever they could get at the right price??

The 30G was billed as an improvement when introduced in 1931 or 32 as it featured a park facility to stop the arm and blade dangling in front of the drivers vision.

Re: fitting the arm, see here:

It's usually easier to fit a later pattern arm (with adapter if necessary) than faf around with bits of bent wire and springsĀ  Wink
