sun-visor resto? (1 Viewer)

[wscruiser]

No luck with this in FAQ.......
Any of you guys out there had any luck finding a source for the sun visor blades (CCOT says they won't be restocking) or figured out a way to get the blades redone at upholstery shop, etc.? My hardware is in great shape, but the visor part is done.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Wes

OEM and just the blades?

Specter and Cruiser Corp sell OEM sun visors.Don't think they sell just the blades.Specter does sell a cover in different colors for existing visor blades

about 100 bucks each.

$124 for the pair... OEM Sun Visors for '63 to '78 Land Cruiser FJ40 - LH and RH

its so worth it to get new visors when you still can.

Make sure you get the right length. I picked up a new set from the dealer a while back and the metal mounting arms extended down far too low. I ended up shortening the arms myself by cutting and re-welding them so it wasn't an issue and looks stock but would have been easier to have the correct length from the get-go.

Thanks for the input on this guys.

there are I think only 2 styles left, 79+ and 78 and earlier, I think there is also a different visor for 1960's with the arm so it works with the exposed dual motors(and 45 wagons use yet another type)

 

[Landpimp]

see how pretty they look

these are the 79+ visors

Looking sharp!
Are your hood latches NOS?

 

[Landpimp]

Yes, about 12 years ago. Put new pads on this fall, didn't really need them...but I had them

You can still get all the hood hold down stuff.

I gotcha. My truck is pretty much original with exception of a few things. I'm trying to restore as much of it myself as I can. Plus save a little $ along the way!!
