Looking for ANCO 20-11 wiper refills (11")

[jumpinjan]

These 11" ANCO wiper blades are what I have on the Tiger and I need new rubber blades.
Either new refills or even just the rubber blade material that I can cut and install.
I'm going to call Rick and ask what brand he sells. Also, I see blades in the Moss catalogs.

Alpine owners should buy everything they can from Rick (in California) or Curt (in NY). We need to support these guys. Once they're gone, they're gone. It's not even relevant that it might cost a few dollars more.

I used to own a 62 Buick. Parts were hard to find (even back in the 90's). It seemed (to me) that it made the car worth LESS, because no one could get parts!

That 62 Buick was the only "classic" car I've owned that I sold for LESS than I paid for it. That's a fact.

Because no one could get parts for it (at reasonable prices), is just my opinion.

Agree, John, and also from the UK suppliers like Jerome and the others. We have a similar situation with one of the boats that I own - a MacGregor 26X. They stopped making the boats several years ago, and now there's only *one* supplier left of MacGregor spares... once they're gone there simply won't be any source left.

Jan, if just the blades and not the heads why not buy the trico refils NOS...they are easy to get, espcially on ebay UK... If you need the heads then its a more difficult proposition to get the original ones.
