One last entry and more information on the metal bracket.

The bracket I cited above is NOT an original - but someone's idea of "aftermarket replacement."

No rivets are used - rather the bracket device has "tabs" (i.e. my thought of "tangs") which are pushed through by the bar on the underside, puncture the fabric, pass through the hole in the visor frame, and are bent over only to hold everything in place.

THEN the upper layer is folded over and the sewing completed.

More detail on the brackets and their application at https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showt...CC+visor+frame

Also, other sun-visor threads indicate the 65ish CC re-roofing pix formerly at Marco's Barnyard site reportedly contain a couple of pix of the frame and bracket. I'm not seeing it. Try https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showp...6&postcount=13 for a lead to the Wayback Machine location of Marco's pix.
