There seems to be enough interest to put this together. I have an upholsty guy that that can redo the visors, but need cores to refurbish. Originally I was planning to make the internal structure, but it would save some time and effort (as well as cash) to just use the old substructure.

You would be looking at a high quality vinyl that would be stitched on the edges. I know the OEM was thermally bonded, but the cost to set up and do that would double the cost at less that 100 sets. So, they're not exactly like OEM, but they will have the mirror sewn in like the OEM.

I'm working on the sample with the mirror, and will have it in a few weeks.

I will also make new visor clips available if you wish for $50 a set of all 3. These are the ones with the stainless pins. This will be only to those that are in on the visor refurb deal.

Just chime in on the thread here to get yourself on the list. As soon as it looks like we've got the 20 sets, I'll send the details.

Thanks, I need to do a set myself, so this will help me too.

Here's is a picture of a protype.

These look great, I have a question that doesn't matter to me so much but here goes. On the OEM there was a sewn and velcro-ed flap I believe over the mirror, Was it your intent to replicate that also? Can there be a package that includes all new mounts, clips and hardware?

Posted by: geniusanthony Dec 8 2010, 02:30 AM

I can't send cores till after the holidays. Hopefully I can still get in on this?

Posted by: Garold Shaffer Dec 8 2010, 06:22 AM

I'm in for a pair. Just need to know where to send the cores & $$$.

If I may, I would like throw something in here. I was wondering just how hard it would be to make ones that swivel like todays cars? I'm vertical challenged so there are times when driving the sun gets my eyes thru the side window. I know its not stock, but then again my 914 is a mix of stock & non.

Posted by: willamp Dec 8 2010, 07:44 AM

I would like a set and can send my cores whenever you are ready. The mirror isn't very important to me and if there's any issue recreating a flap that will stay closed over the years I could do without the mirror.

thx

Posted by: maf914 Dec 8 2010, 07:45 AM

Mark,

This is good news. I am in for a pair and can send my cores. And if you offer the mounting clips and pins as part of the package, then I am in for those as well. I know you currently have the clips and pins on your site.

Were all visors the same for the various years production? I have a 76 and would not want to get my cores mixed up with an early model's cores if they are different.

Posted by: dem Dec 8 2010, 08:02 AM

I'm tall enough I just use the windshield header for my visor, but that reminds me of another product idea that should be cheap and easy: visor hole blanking plates.

Basically a moulded bit of a plastic that covers up where the visors mounted. I had these on my old Miata. Keeps the vinyls from getting tatty and looks better.

Posted by: ConeDodger Dec 8 2010, 10:19 AM

Well there's something I don't need but desperately want! I'm in!

Are you going to put the insurance/registration pouch on the drivers side?

Posted by: codices Dec 8 2010, 10:30 AM

I'm in for a set with clips. Tell us where to send the cores. They should fit in one of the USPS flat rate boxes and then you could use that box for the return????

Is a core the metal inside frame?

Posted by: PRS914-6 Dec 8 2010, 12:23 PM

I think if you are going to do a group buy you might check with Vinyl Specialties. They have done 3 sets for me at $55.00 and they were perfect. I'm sure if you sent them a shit load they would reduce the price. http://www.autosunvisors.com/

Posted by: Tom_T Dec 8 2010, 12:26 PM

Mark - any chance of a later group buy or order as needed - with the thermal-bonded seams recovering per OEM, & with mirror/flap at R & map packet @ L for us anal-wanks?

That vinyl looks pretty close to original for the pix BTW - good job!

Posted by: Tom_T Dec 8 2010, 12:35 PM

Looks like they also stitch - not thermal-weld, & according to the 911 visor example for $65, can't reinstall your vanity mirror.

.... and you know how vain those 911 types are!

So IMHO, Mikey914's group buy with the mirror included is probably worth the extra $20-30 (depending upon whether the 914 ones at the above link is still $55, or up to the $65 of the 911 flavor).

Posted by: monkeyboy Dec 8 2010, 12:50 PM

I'm in, just let me know when and where to send the cores.

Posted by: bandjoey Dec 8 2010, 01:25 PM

I looked into vinyl thermal bonding last year. The set up on the machine was over $500 before 1 was produced, and they didn't really want to tie up the machine unless we considered running less than 100 units. (a local DFW shop)

I'm not an expert on this process but as explained, this is some kind of stamping process...build the mold...inset the material...stamp it out - as I was told.

Any thermal bonding experts out here?

Posted by: bandjoey Dec 8 2010, 01:28 PM

This place also sells the pivoting mounts to turn the visor to the side.

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 8 2010, 01:42 PM

I had looked into the thermal bonding also, Basically, dies are created to do the bonding, that's the expense. The $500 was better that the final price I was lookibng at. There were several ops, and the $500 probably only coverd the edges.

Also the numbers we are looking at from Vinly specialties do not include the mirror, and the mirror they have screws onto the substructure. This will not work for our visors. The have to be sewn in (or thermally bonded, secondary operation more$$$). This normally cracks the mirror. I will be doing a test part in the next 2 weeks to assure I have this under control, but I'm 99% sure it will not be a problem the way I plan to do it.
As far as the deletes and the pivots go, there's probably not enough demand to fabricate these, but I suspect there are other ones that could be modified for both applications.
The only issue I could see on the pivots is the mounting. There needs to be enough substructure to support the loads of pivoting (and if you want them to sty in place you'll have to crank them down a bit), and vibration that the original would have never encountered.
Maybe not an issue but worth looking into before going that route.

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 8 2010, 01:50 PM

Allways a possibility, just a matter of demand and at what cost?

Posted by: markb Dec 8 2010, 01:50 PM

We have a box of cores here if you need some.

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 8 2010, 01:53 PM

Yes, that's probably about the time frame this will come together.
as soon as we get 20 confirmed, I'll send out the info.

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 8 2010, 01:57 PM

That could work out well. I would propose that I could sell your cores for you for those that don't want to remove. Or better you anyone that needs cores contact you directly to ship for them.

I'll buy 2 sets off you for myself. If anyone else wants they could all ship together, and they could just pay you for what they want. The fewer times money changes hands the easier it is.

Mark, I'd be in to get two sets done. If anyone is stuck I think I have one more set for cores.

Posted by: Coy Dec 8 2010, 09:55 PM

I'm in for the visors, if you're still building your list, but I don't think I need the clips.

Posted by: PH1 Dec 8 2010, 09:57 PM

I'm in for the visors as well as the clips.

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 9 2010, 12:45 AM

The cores are the metal parts on the inside of the visors. The "guts". These will be used to create the new ones. They are actually a complex part to duplicate.

Posted by: girellr Dec 9 2010, 11:39 AM

count me in for both visors and clips. let me know where and when I send visors and money. rgirello@cableone.net

Posted by: veltror Dec 9 2010, 06:15 PM

sending cores from the uk is a bit expensive ...sigh

Posted by: MDG Dec 9 2010, 07:02 PM

Like I said I'm almost positive I have at least an extra set. I'll check this weekend. If I have them they are all yours. I can send them down with my other two sets with your name on them.

That way all you'd need to pay is the recovering and the shipment back to the UK.

Let me know if you want them and I'll dig around this weekend.

cheers, m.

I have more visors than any normal person should have. I could donate a pair for you.

Cheers!

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 10 2010, 12:46 AM

Probably cheaper to obtain cores here from Bruce or Mark, and I'm sure I can tap a few shoulders here to find some.

Hi Mikey..........I will take a set. Just tell where to send the cores and when. Bernard

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 10 2010, 04:03 PM

Pretty sure he does, PM him.

This will actually be going down first of the year as with the holidays nothing really gets done. I will however have a sample in the next 7-10 days (with the mirror).

Mark and I found the 2 boxes of sun visors that we knew we had. We will be going through and counting them (there are surly some 911 ones in there) and taking pictures and posting in the next day or 2.

Thanks Mark - let me know when you want cores.

I'm in for a visor set.

Posted by: Series9 Dec 16 2010, 08:09 AM

I'm in for at least one set. Maybe three. Let me check my cores.

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 21 2010, 12:42 PM

Ok, did some prototypes, and adding some options.

Added the drivers pocket, also added the flap for the mirror.

It did change the cost a bit. so here's the breakdown-

The full deal-
Mirror, drivers flap and mirror cover -$99

The base deal -
Mirror with visors (no pocket no flap) $85

I do need to receive the cores, stripped. I will show how to do this in a later thread.

The cost went up on these slightly as I am farming out the labor on these as this is a lot of work. The production for the full deal will occur in January, the production on the base deal will follow. I will be sending out PMs with the info in a few days.

Posted by: ConeDodger Dec 21 2010, 05:49 PM

Full set.. Just like Momma Porsche used to make!

Posted by: turboman808 Dec 21 2010, 11:54 PM

Hey Mikey I would love to get in on this.

Is it possible to get it done in leather? With pockets on both visors, no mirror?

Really want to get the whole interior in leather at some point but this is a good start.

Thanks
Nate

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 22 2010, 12:48 AM

I'm sure it can be done, the materials cost will be a little different. I'll have to get back to you with cost.

Posted by: treemn Dec 22 2010, 02:08 AM

One full set please.

Posted by: rfuerst911sc Dec 22 2010, 04:14 AM

I'll take a full up pair and I do have cores to send you. Want them in black. Thanks again for all you do for our community.

Posted by: nsr-jamie Dec 22 2010, 06:15 AM

I am curious about the cost of leather ones....I am interested but still not sure yet, my visors have seen better days though

Posted by: turboman808 Dec 22 2010, 09:36 AM

No problem. I'm probably going to take my 914 to my wedding and the outside looks cool the interior is rather shabby.

Posted by: DJKnut Dec 22 2010, 10:27 AM

VERY nicely done...!!! Add me to the list of the basic (no pockets..) set... I'm IN!! Dave

Posted by: craig downs Dec 22 2010, 11:59 PM

I would like a full deal please

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 23 2010, 01:26 AM

Thanks,
So far I'm only doing in black, leather should be an option, I will not have the cost untl 1st of the year as my guy that's doing these is on vacation. With all the holidays and the other production stuff going on I will not be able to get these going until after 1st of the year.

Mark, I got your cold impersonal group e-mail. I cried for 4 minutes and 23 seconds. We've broken bread together man!

Seriously,
You want the core to be 'stripped' what does this mean?

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 29 2010, 02:20 AM

Sorry Rob,
Didn't realize you would be so hurt. I'll smooth it over with a beer or two next time I'm in SAC.
It is a good question as to what is meant about stripped down. I need only the interior metal parts to rebuild these. I was looking for one of my cores to put some pictures up of exactly what I mean, I can do that tomorrow evening.

Posted by: DB914 Dec 29 2010, 06:08 AM

I'm not hurt... Just funnin' ya. I sent a check. 'spect it next week, like Monday or so... I have uninstalled my visors and await field stripping instructions. Oh, and the beer is on me next trip...

Posted by: markb Dec 29 2010, 05:27 PM

Ok, so I was finally able to get all our cores in one spot. We have 7 sets (pairs) available, at $25.00 a set (pair) shipped to Mark (Mikey914). PM me or Jonathan if you need cores.

Posted by: JmuRiz Dec 29 2010, 09:24 PM

I didn't think my visors were too bad till I grabbed them today and they had that nice crunchy feel, haha. PM me the info, thanks. I may go leather if the price diff isn't so bad, so an estimate on that would be cool.

Posted by: Mikey914 Dec 30 2010, 12:11 AM

I have these priced with a nice vinyl that feels alot like leather. I'll have to finalized the numbers for a leather upgrade when my guy is back in town after the first of the year.

PS I'm still looking for a bad set of visors to gut and take some pictures.

Posted by: hwgunner Dec 31 2010, 12:49 PM

Thanks

Posted by: Mikey914 Jan 4 2011, 12:17 AM

The only other set of visors are too nice to cut up, but this is what we need when I say stripped.


Attached thumbnail(s)

Posted by: Valy Jan 4 2011, 12:53 AM

Mike,

Just a word of advice but, hope you figured it out yourself:
There are two sizes of visors (different length). I think the difference was about 1/2".
I figured it out the hard way when I recovered mine.

Nice job!!

Posted by: hwgunner Jan 4 2011, 08:13 PM

I found a couple more sets of cores if any one is in need. $25/set shipped to Mikey914.

Posted by: maf914 Jan 5 2011, 08:59 AM

So, to strip the sunvisor, you just cut away the vinyl and padding and clean up the frame? I sort of hate to cut mine up since they are intact, but they need recovering.

What is a good way to ship these to Mark? Will a pair fit in a large US Postal Service flat rate box which is $10.70. Should additional stiffening or padding be added to the visor frames? Thanks.

Posted by: Mikey914 Jan 5 2011, 11:11 AM

Most of the ones I have recieved (only 3 so far) have been shipped in ods and ends boxes. By weight you should be able to save a few bucks shipping the cores in any box they fit into. They will weigh less than 1#. As a finished part they will bump into 2#, which jumps up more.

Yes I do need to have the vinyl cut off, it takes abotu 10-15 min, but it saves you shipping and you can imagine how much time it would take me to strip these.
-Mark

Posted by: Mikey914 Jan 5 2011, 11:13 AM

Black leather (that looks alot like the vinyl) is available as an option at $25 additional. I have had a few of you that wanted to know.
Thanks,
Mark

Posted by: Mikey914 Jan 13 2011, 02:21 AM

So far only 4 sets of cores have shown up. I'll have these ready next week.

Shipped all the sets purchased from me 2 days ago. You should see them shortly.

jonathan

Posted by: Mikey914 Jan 13 2011, 08:07 PM

Sory didn't answer the part with the shipping. These don't fit into a flat rate box very well, anything you can find to ship in is fine as they are lite.

Posted by: rfuerst911sc Jan 14 2011, 04:15 AM

I haven't sent mine in yet due to the weather mess in the southeast. I hope to box them up this weekend. If we are going to use the existing pins that the visors pivot on should we send them so you can insert them in the new visors ? Or do we insert the pins once we receive the recovered visors ? Thanks

Posted by: rfuerst911sc Jan 16 2011, 08:55 AM

Stripped mine of the vinyl today.....WOW... the inside foam was just dust and powder. The one frame is a little rusty should I clean that up before shipping ? And do you need the pivot pins sent if we are using our old ones ? I hope to ship mine out Tuesday.

Posted by: ConeDodger Jan 16 2011, 08:23 PM

For those puzzling over the way to box these, what I did is to take two USPS flat rate boxes and cut the tabs off of one of the open ends. I closed up the other two ends and then put the visors inside one and pushed the other over the end of it. It helps if you use one Priority Mail box and the other Express Mail. The Express Mail are just slightly larger and that facilitates the slip over. The boxes I used are the flat ones about 3"X12"X15" or so. Of course, you have to then take brown paper grocery bags and cover this assembly as the PO will not ship it unless you do...

Posted by: Mikey914 Jan 17 2011, 02:17 AM

Just knock the loose rust off to make sure the cores are solid (haven't found any that were not yet) I don't need the pivot pins as they are part of the visor clip mounts. You may want to check to make sure the pins fit in the mounts good enough to hold the visors. I do have the clips available if you need one or all. th eproblem is if you replace one it will look nicer than the others

Posted by: girellr Jan 17 2011, 04:56 PM

I sent mine today via. UPS from Anniston/Oxford Alabama. I am pretty sure I wrote return address on envelope with check inside. If not just use address on check. Thanks Mikey914 and you can get me at rgirello@cableone.net.

I haven't had a response from GRP - anyone else got some cores?

Thanks

Mark per the UPS tracking number my cores were delivered yesterday morning at 10:30 can you confirm you received them ? From Marietta Georgia. Thanks

Posted by: Mikey914 Jan 29 2011, 10:37 PM

I'd be happy to when I get back in on Monday.

Also, the first ones are shipping back out this week.

Mark,

PayPal sent for full deal visor refurbishment and a set of visor clips and pins. Cores in the mail as of today, 2/2/11.

Once again, thanks for offering this service.

Posted by: hwgunner Feb 3 2011, 04:26 PM

At this point I am all out except for 2 drivers side visors. I looked at a set that had the vinyl off of them and they appear to be identical except for a slight bow and the orientation of the screw clips. If Mikey can confirm this then I would have one set left for some one.

Posted by: DJKnut Feb 8 2011, 09:39 PM

so...Mikey... are you going to update us on where we are on the list of getting our visors... What about a list of who you've received money-wire frames from, and where they (we..) are on the return list??? It sounded like there were supposed to be some shipped early in February... but?? No news is... no news...

Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 9 2011, 04:12 AM

I needed 20 sets to get rolling on these and they trickled in slowly, the good news is I have a bunch to get shipped out.

One problem I had was the old screws were left in a few pairs, so when they got recovered they got taken out, but not put back in. So, I'm replacing the screws withh new ones, butit gets better. The standard screws are too long, so I'm having to cut them down. These will be starting to ship tomorrow.

I can put together a list as I ship these out.

Hi Mikey, I'm waiting to hear if my cores that were shipped to you from GPR were stripped or not...? Then I can go ahead and get you paid..

Any chance your visor guy could do my pair in black alcantara??

Posted by: Gary Feb 12 2011, 08:22 PM

You're a good man, Mikey .

Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 14 2011, 02:15 AM

I will have more shipping out Tuesday, only because I have to work the day job, but another 6 sets to go.

Posted by: rfuerst911sc Feb 14 2011, 02:58 PM

I received mine today wow they are very nice. And thanks for the " extras " you threw in. Now I have to ask what are you using on the inside of these that hopefully won't fall apart like the OEM ? Your guy does nice work.......thank you.

Posted by: girellr Feb 18 2011, 12:35 PM

Recieved mine this week. Was out of town so did not put them on till yesterday. Very nce job and especially for the price. I would reccomend to anyone. Now I have the top few inches of my windshield back. No more saggy, stinky visors. And the spousal unit loves having a mirror back.

I'll have more out tomorrow, the GT kits came in finally, so I really neede to get those out.

Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 19 2011, 04:09 PM

These have a simular foam rubber, but if your around in 30 years send them back and I'll do them for free. Assuming I'm around in 30 years.

Posted by: Kansas 914 Feb 19 2011, 05:13 PM

Mine arrived while I was out of town - I got back to find they were beautifully made!

Posted by: D1A3 Feb 21 2011, 11:01 AM

Hi Mikey - Any chance to still slip in on the full deal?

Posted by: Mikey914 Feb 24 2011, 11:23 AM

I'm in the process of wrapping these up so if you did I'd need to have them in a week or less.

Posted by: D1A3 Feb 24 2011, 08:31 PM

Picked up my cores tonight and will be shipping to to you in the mroning with payment (or can paypal you if you prefer).

THANKS!

Posted by: D1A3 Feb 25 2011, 01:16 PM

Cores were picked up and are in route!

Thanks Mark! My car's going to have visors for the first time in 25 years!

Posted by: ConeDodger Feb 26 2011, 10:09 PM

Got the shipping confirmation! Probably waiting for me when I get home from my vacation! Thanks for all you do Mark!

Posted by: ConeDodger Mar 4 2011, 11:19 AM

I now have the nicest 914 sunvisors in the Sacramento area... Thanks Mark!

You guys wondering if this is difficult, I installed the driver side while waiting at a stop light this morning on my way to work... Yup, that simple.

Posted by: JmuRiz Mar 4 2011, 12:22 PM

Are you planning to still offer these later in the spring/summer?

I want to try and sell off a couple other projects to free up time/money to spend on the 914.
Hopefully I'll have more time/space after this weekend...so I can finalize my order for GPR's oil tank and think about this as well.

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 6 2011, 12:04 AM

I'll have these available but, I will be closing out the group buy this next week.
-Mark

Posted by: Gint Mar 6 2011, 08:28 AM

When exactly will the group buy close? I'm re-thinking this one. And it would include the pin set as well. I need to find a set of cores.

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 6 2011, 10:39 AM

Ill need to close this out march 12th as the roof production is spoiling up.
Mark

Posted by: mcbrems Mar 18 2011, 06:10 PM

Did I miss it? Are you including them in your regular product line?

Posted by: drken Mar 18 2011, 07:49 PM

Got mine back last week. Wow-beautiful! Thanks for an excellent job and a great deal!

Ken

Posted by: Mikey914 Mar 18 2011, 11:05 PM

because of the nature of these (needing cores) I may add these at a premiun later, but right now I'm just trying to wrap up the ones I've got going. More if not all to ship this next week.

Posted by: markb Mar 18 2011, 11:13 PM

I still have a couple sets stashed that would be available, and I'm also thinking a set would be nice if you do more.

Posted by: Rod Aug 4 2011, 03:17 PM

Sorry to bump this as I'm sure it's closed but I need to find out what's happening to my order? I paid for and had some visors shipped to you from gpr (iirc) a few months back and haven't heard back..

I would like leather covered with a full set of brackets to include shipping to the UK and was waiting back on a full price..

Can we sort this now as the sun is shining over here now !!

Posted by: tumamilhem Dec 27 2012, 07:42 PM

do you have a nice passenger side visor with good foam inside (not brittle), good mirror and mirror flap? PM me please.
