28 29 CCPU sun visor
 

I have a pretty decent frame for my 28 29 CCPU sun visor, but is there a wood kit that it needs to attach the material too?? Not sure how one would attach the cloth to it.

Your best bet is to buy a pre-sewn cover from one of the Model A suppliers or LeBaron Bonney and follow the installation instructions.

There is no wood associated with the frame itself. The rear of the frame screws to the underside of the wooden front header on the cab. The other mounting points are obvious on each end of the frame.

If I remember correctly, the original cover was slid on the metal frame and then sewn through the 2 open rectangles of the metal frame work. I think I remember this from cutting the stitching of an original to get it off the frame, but that was 1/2 of a century ago so you might want to check it out closer.

Find a shoe repair shop with an open foot sewing machine to do the stiching in the rectangles.

Some of upholstery companies put stitching in to simulate the look of the original, and I think the idea is that you glue the top and bottom together after it is on the frame. If you want to have it sewn like the original, any local shoe repair with a "patch machine" should be able to do it as the sewing head swivels 360* and sews in any direction with out turning the work. The deep throat machines are real nice but not every repair shop has them where as most have a patch machine. Maybe this is the same thing Glenn is talking about and we are just calling the machine by two different names.
