Sun Visors: Make your own?
My 1939 Ford Convertible came without sun visors and I cannot find any replacements. Anyone manufactured their own? Or used a substitute?

Re: Sun Visors: Make your own?
There should be various sun visors available on Ebay, Dennis Carpenter, Bob Drake or other sources that can be adapted.
They don't look that complicated.

Re: Sun Visors: Make your own?
1939 Convertible had two different visor/visor arm combinations. Late 1939 was the same as 1940. See the EV8 Club "1939 Ford Book" for explanation.
I have attached a sketch of a 1940 visor (from a Merc, but I think its the same), note the frame construction details. We make the visor arm for the late 1939-1940, and the spring. |

Sorry, but I'm not familiar with "stock style repop" frames. Can you enlighten me? What they are. Where to buy? etc. Thanks |

Re: Sun Visors: Make your own?
I think I got mine off Epay but C&G has them 3rd Gen prolly does as well. I think it is a Vintique product, The shield shaped mount bracket and the frame is all you get. I have a Pfaff leather walking foot sewing machine and I covered the frame w/ cardboard wet and shaped till dry, fabric to match interior, some real leather to bind the cut edges nicely and stitched er up! They would look like original if I had used the proper cloth and binding but I was going for a bit more flair.
My car is a coupe and I believe the vert has a different config (just guessing), but the covering process is prolly the same. |

I need the whole assembly as you show in your picture. The two mounting holes are 2&7/16 inches apart. They are parallel to the top and ther is no third mounting hole. |
