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

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.
