Need to replace rubber seals and ferules on the wiper wheelboxes, does anyone know which parts are the correct fit. I understand the ferules have different angles and some are longer than others, but which vehicle did Chapman blag them from
Thanks
Tony

I think I bought some from Moss Motors for an MGB and they worked fine. Gary

Thanks Alan, that is exactly what I am looking for. It seems the ferrules on many British cars looked the same, bu7t my research so far indicates that the length of the ferrules were different as well as the angle they sat on the scuttle panel. The favourite seems to be Mini or MGB but in both cases I have read that the angle on both were not the same as those on the Elan.
So thanks for the link

It seems these are the same rubbers and ferulles as the MGB, now fitted.
