Post subject:  Anyone fitted sun visors?
As the sun is quite low in the sky this time of year (and I tend to use the sun as my cue to get the Spyder out) I'm noticing the lack of sun visors. Has anyone fitted them? If so what doner works well? A very quick look on ebay suggests BMW Z3 visors might work as they appear to be just hinged rather than hing/rotate so the bracket is central on the visor and has a flat back. I'm hoping that screws simply self tapping into the trim layer GRP will hold them.

Any advice?

Hi,
I have MGTF visors fitted, very easy to fit.
Just trying to think when I've ever used them though?
Cheers

I used one of these http://www.eliseparts.com/products/show/6/557/sun-visor/

Not cheap I suppose for what it is (nothing on that site is, be warned!) But is of good quality and I think it works well.

I like the fact it is semi-transparent to still let some light in. This is also good as I tend to push it forward against the window when not in use to act as a sort of permanent sun strip.
(I also do this because with it folded fully back the relatively sharp edge is pointing at my head... :shock: )

Cheers,
Mike

I used Rover 100 ones, with rotate (handy for when sun is on D/S) and tilt. Fit and work well. Used self tappers with drilled pilot holes.

They're 18" x 5" overall and fixing brackets are about 13" apart

I used grey smoked perspex visors and fittings sold for use on Cobras. There is a chap who usually has a stand at the Stoneleigh Kit Car show who sells these. They look very neat and I used existing holes for the trim to attach the hinges.

Hi Raymond,

7.80 is the screw pack to mount sunvisors :oops:

The visors are considerably dearer :shock:

Eh? There's something wrong there! The linked page says visors, has a photo of them and gives their dimensions. It ends by saying that they need a screw pack which is available separately :? I'm confused........and not for the first time, either :roll:

If you look down the page there's a "chose option" the visors are 80 quid upward.

And I agree, it's not what it first appears <grrrrrrrrrr>
