Jim,
I just purchased a visor for my 54 that will be different from yours on the
center bracketry. But, I have a feeling I can point you in the right direction
on the bolts. They are called "sex bolts" or "binding screws" if what you are
describing is what I am thinking of. They basically have a threaded barrel with
a flat head on one end, and then the insert is a bolt that usually has a slotted
head to tighten into the barrel (hence the term "sex bolt"). These are easily
available in all sizes through McMaster Carr or through MSC or somebody like
that. I have used them numerous times on projects (mechanical engineer by
trade) and they are great little fasteners. If they work for the visor, I would
suggest some loc-tite or eqivalent, as you don't want to damage your precious AD
or your Fulton by a bolt that backs out going down the road. I hope this
information helps, and let us know how it works out.

Subject: [oletrucks] Sun Visor
To all,
I'm in the process of building a '53 Chevy 1/2 ton. I 'think' I'm getting very
close to the final construction phase (ask my painter if that is true!). I have
a Fulton Sun Visor for this vehicle and I thought it was complete when I bought
it. However, now I think I'm missing a couple of critical parts!? There are
two stainless steel 'clamps' that attach the center of the visor to the center
of the windshield. On the windshield end of these two clamps there are some
special bolts. It looks like there should be two of these special bolts for
each clamp, but I only have one for each clamp. These special bolts are
two-piece assemblies - a fairly simple stainless steel bolt about 1" and a
special threaded sleeve that this bolt threads into. The side brackets for the
visor also have these special type of bolts, but I have all of those parts.
It's the center brace assembly that I think I'm missing parts
Can anyone confirm that there are supposed to be two of these special bolts for
each 'clamp'? (for a total of 4 for the center brace assembly)?
And, the big question: Does anyone have a pair they would sell me or can you
suggest a vendor that may have these items?
Thanks in advance.
