I haven't used the kit itself although parts are likely the same. I
bought the visors new but from an individual and bought the clips from a
UK vendor. The clips riveted on but I couldn't get it to hold (rivet gun
couldn't get deep enough in the clip) so I had to add a washer or two.
Clearing the clamps was another anomaly. I had to make a slight bend in
the visors in order to clear the clamps and clip in, and then had to
work it a bit more so they could go up and down without the clamps
interfering. I presume that's the normal way - my 72B came as a parts
car with no visors so I didn't have anything to model it from besides
old memory.

Subject: Sun Visor Installation
Hi Everyone!
Does anyone have any experience installing the Moss sunvisor kit (P/N
224-108) in a '66B (not that the year should matter)? I just can't
figure
out how it's going to clear the clamps on the header rail. Also, it also
looks like the curved bar in the visor itself that fits into the bracket
will hit the header rail when the top is up. Finally, what should I use
to
install the brackets to the windshield frame? From the pictures in
Clausanger's book, it looks like rivets were used.
Also, I learned a lesson this weekend. It doesn't take very long for a
running engine to pump four quarts of oil out an improperly installed
oil
filter and onto your garage floor.
Thanks!
