Sadly actuellement indisponible which Google tells me means not currently available, I can't wait forever but if I can fit the ones I've got and get the flamer driveable and legal and enjoyable, then I can retrofit the correct ones when and if they turn up. I'll also have to learn enough of the French language to be able to carry out financial transactions sensibly! Don't forget that this is a rebuild and not a restoration( where different rules apply) It pains me to fit stuff that isn't original but I've got to be pragmatic. I've also got to fit UK headlamps and the bowls they fit in to which really annoys me  . Rant over, Fer, and anyone else over the water on mainland Europe, if you ever happen to find more stuff like that, or other stuff I'm having trouble sourcing, or websites that are selling old timer original parts, please let me know  .

Of course you've got to be careful if using non-original parts... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DZDt0cUW0AIhTBW.jpg:large |

Yes you are right this tyres look ugly.... But if you search some special, give us a list. Today i did see a very early 2cv light switch on a fleamarket, but the man asked 40 euros for it bevcause he taught it came from a traction. 2 minutes later if found a great 2cv book from the fifties for a very reasonable price. You never know...Just keep your eyes open. (On the last 2cv market last week the first thing i bought were some 50s Opel mudflaps  (NOS). A friend has a fifties rekord he will be very pleased with that.)

| Cheers Fer. I'll have to look at the wiper arms. They do not have much spring pressure, are they easy to remove? |

Yes a screw on the underside when you flip them up. But they can be rather rusted. Often it is a cause of bad greasing/rust that they don't have enough pressure.
