[928uk] Sourcing some parts

[Michael Parris]

I replaced my struts with some from SGS engineering.
The wiper blocks are NLA.
I imagine if you cut a tie wrap with the lock part between the arms it
might work?
I've deleted my rear wiper as I never used it.  If anyone needs the arm,
let me know. It had the blocks but they've been knocked off in storage.
