Couple of oddities...

1) Series III wiper arms, including the bit that fits on the spindle and the
little bolt, most notably the passenger side one.

does this consist of the arm plus the adapter STC987?

2) wiper blade PRC1330 - is this an original-type one or a champion-esque
variety?

The wiper arm and spindle adapter are separate parts.

PRC1330F are the original "flat" blades, PRC1330 are "modern" cantilever
ones.

ah. nemmind, maybe he'll see it later. None of it's critical, and I can
more-or-less guess the answers.

might just order it anyway, we'll see, they're only a couple of quid each.

OK... I have champion stylee, and they look a bit cumbersome, and are also
fractionally long, so they hit the bottom of the screen. I think the SIII
had "modern" type blades, though... the flat ones are more a series II
thing, from my recollection.

I guess a mite of ordering is in order. Actually, what I started out
looking for was the round red reflectors.

yeah, I found them in your list. The arms are black, ISTR? are the blades
black or chrome?

Black would suit the motor, as mostly it's either purple or black - I had in
mind, actually, going round and painting over the purple on the
should-be-galv bits and making them black too, which I think would be better
than the current purple.

Chrome arms have been NLA from quite some time.
