32 sun visor ?
« on: December 02, 2020, 02:09:43 PM »
I need the measurements of the sun visor and a pic would help.
My car has the interior bracket but no cardboard/material.
I figure this is something I can do since funds are scarce right now. :-X

seeing as how the car is a street rod..........those words get you tossed in HAMB, make up a size that seems appropriate.

Your not going to the Hershey judging fields of the ACCA.

I made a set for the '39.  Used a set of Ford visors and cut them down to fit and recovered them.  If you go to a junkyard and get a pair don't forget to get the hangers for the inside edge.  Several videos on line regarding covering.

Rattiac, good luck with the sun visor. No matter what way you go, no doubt it will turn out good and be just what the doctor ordered.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Found some images that give measurements.
It was an old eBay ad. 8)

I need to unbolt the arm from the windshield and soak it in some PBlaster. It doesn't move.

Unscrewed the arm today. Needs a good cleaning.
Hopefully I can get the screw loose to allow movement. Flat black or silver for now (whatever is in my paint locker) .
One day I'd like to chrome it. I may have some tan or black headliner laying around too.

That looks like a candidate for a citric acid bath. It would remove the rust and not harm any chrome that may be on it. It won't remove paint either. This is a nice looking bracket, classy.

After a few weeks of soaking the end in a cup of PB. It finally came loose and now rotates.
Just need to drill out the rivets to attach the visor.

Haven't made it yet. Just getting the arm to move was the battle, the rest is easy.😉
