MG MG Y Type - Wiper wheelboxes

I have just bought a YB, which has been extensively restored to running condition by the last owner. It is incomplete or incorrect in some details. I intend to complete the restoration. The most serious 'incorrection' is the windscreen wipers. The standard wheelboxes have been replaced by non-standard ones. Although the wipers work, they cannot be moved off the screen from inside the car to open the screen.
I have tried all the obvious sources for wheelboxes, which I believe were used on other makes at the time, but without success. Does anyone have any spare wheelboxes and control knobs, or even a complete windscreen wiper drive unit? Alternatively, does anyone know of a source for the wheelboxes?

Responded to your request on the Classified Advertisements (Wanted section) but have not had a reply from you. Contact me off line if you are still interested in me checking out what I have. Fairly certain I can sort you out, but you also might want to reply to some of the folk advertising spares on the Y For Sale section.

I will leave it up to you.
