Anyone know where you can buy these from as I dropped the motor yesterday when removing it and broke the plastic clip that holds the blade on the arm.

When you buy the blades is the clip part of it or is that a separate part ?

Have had a quick Google and it would seem these are hard to get hold unless Ford still sell them.

Any tips on where to find them would be much appreciated

 

The arms arnt cheap these days. Good luck trying to find one too.

 

I think like most Cosworth parts now they are no longer available from Ford. I managed to get my hands on one side complete, the arm, the blade and the washer jet and I paid iirc around £63 delivered. I sold it on eBay for £85 posted so by the time I posted it, eBay and PayPal had their fees/cut of it I was lucky if I earned a £10 note on it.

There was a seller on eBay a while ago selling just the washer jets for iirc about £40 a pair might be worth a search on there, other than that it’s a matter of sourcing second hand ones.

 

im sure there are some other makes that fit but i cant remember now which car model it was

 

Volvo 360 iirc

 

£2.99 for a single wiper and 5.99 for a pair

cant see any clips with them tho

 

It's the plastic clip that holds the blade on to the arm that broke so only need the clip which I thought might have come on a new blade but it seems it's not part of the blade.

I have a mate at Volvo main dealer who said he might be able to match it up.

 

The plastic clip that holds the blade to the arm is actually the washer jet, so when trying to acquire one ask for a washer jet

On eBay but as I said £40 the pair

so we are spoilt for choice between horrendously priced ford items, volvo or saab.

Its nice that SierrasRUs are selling the Volvo washer jets off as ford ones for 40 quid when they can be had for half that typical tho

 

are they the same people who over price stuff by £300 and then tell you that it's a bargain

 

Yep that sounds about right for them lol

 

Think I have managed to bond the side on the clip the broke off back on as it was a clean break and didn't affect the jet side of it so will give it a day or so to cure properly then see if it stays in one bit when clipping it back together.

Will still try and find a new one to replace it with.

 

I recently bought some parts for a Sierra Estate for a guy in Seattle and went to the biggest Ford Spare Parts department in the South.Huge place but when I asked if they still had any Sierra, Sapphire or Escort Cosworth parts the answer was no. On their system it just says contact the owners clubs.

 

The blades themselves were being sold by Sierra R Us, think they were about £35 when I purchased a pair from them, that was probably not far off 2 years ago though. I think as mentioned above they sell the washer jets or at least they were a while back.
Check their website but expect to pay Cossie tax.

Get the volvo ones they are still available and about £10 each the 740 1984- 1991 model is the right one the part number for right is 3518092 the part number for the left is 3518091

 

Bargain.

With the new MOT test if you have headlight wash/wipe they must be working so they will no longer just be for decoration.

 

The blades in the link above posted by Ran are exactly the same at a fraction of the cost, that’s where sierras r us are getting them and the washer jets from, Volvo

 

40 pound for 2 small washer jets. I will give them a tenner for the pair.

 

They definatley had my pants down them, great info,much appreciated.
