they use hollow rivets similar to hood handle rivets but a different size. I just mounted some up last week. Art if you need some rivets let me know, I have the correct size.

I tried some from Lebaron Bonney that are too short. They are 1/8 diameter 5/16 long nickle plated tubular rivets. I could not get them to go thru the visor and bracket and leave anything to roll over. What did you use? Thank you for your offer, i sent a PM Art

I found some 1/8” x 7/16 nickle plated tubular rivets at an office supply store and ordered them. Thanks for the responses. Art

They paint brown on the visor side (bout the same as seat frame).

our new slant visor bracket in s/steel is en route to us for inspection, once viewed we will have them produced , We will advise which dealer in USA will stock them, This has been a 13 month mission & not over yet , But looks like we are going to get there , Good things take time ?

Can the stainless steel be nickle plated?

if it is 304 stainless when polished out the color is pretty much dead on.

Thanks for that , I knew someone would speak up, We decided stainless as would be close too Nickel & better than plating, Thanks

Do any of you gentlemen know if the Victoria visors & brackets are the same as used in a 1931 S/W Fordor Sedan?

How can we find out when the reproduction brackets will become available?

Thank you.

on the 31 SW 4 doors the visors are attached to a block of wood that goes between two of the top bows. on the Victoria`s there is a bigger top bow that the visors are attach too. I just installed the visors in Robert`s 160C yesterday.
