Lads:

My car came with only a single sun visor, and it is in pretty bad shape. Taking some measurements, it looks like MG Midget or perhaps MGB visors would be a good replacement

Just wondering if anyone out there has replaced theirs. Martin Robey shows these as NLA, so there must be some alternatives out there, as there is nothing too complicated about them.

Cheers

Vance

Found these reproductions, currently being made in Australia. More than a little pricey. I am still considering MG Midget visors as replacements.

JH visors

TR6 visors may work as well, and the passenger visor has a mirror, a nice touch.

Vance,

I'd think it would be more about the mounting hardware than the visors. I got my J/H in '93 the sun visors along with some other things were long gone and I didn't install a set until a few years ago when I did the resto. I never really missed them and now that I've got them I don't really use them. Personally I try to avoid using parts from other cars especially MG.

Which ever way you go you've just torn up your floorboards, you may have bigger fish to fry.

Folks:

I pulled the trigger on some replacement sun visors. I decided I did not want to pay $110 each plus shipping for visors, so I opted for a set of MG midget visors at $35 each. The are smaller, but fit the hardware just fine.

I attached a photo for your amusement. I know this inspires fear and loathing in some of you who want original or nothing, but I am past that with this car. It will look good when I am done and everything will work properly - that is what I am aiming for.
