Got started on this project when MarkB brought up the whole idea. So then yesterday i scoured the local pick-a-part for donor visors. What i came up w/ were visors out of a Nissan Pulsar. Yes (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) you heard right, a Pulsar! But the installation came out quite nice, but it's not quite a direct bolt on replacement. Here's a few pictures:

Looks like they fit better than the factory to me...

ie you can pull it up on the pass side without hitting the mirror... (I always hate that...)

What year pulsar?

well in order to mount the visors onto the car. (this might make Porsche Purists squeemish) i had to drill 6 holes for the visor mounts 4 of the holes were about 1/8" less in diameter for the two screws on each mount and the 2 remaining holes were 1/2" in diameter. Both were for the extended portion of the peg that the visor rotated upon. picture below:

actually the visors dont hit the rearview mirror at all, but then again this is the mirror i mod to fit onto 914's. for this mirror i wasnt required to attach the peg that extends out to hold the visors. you can clearly see the visors clear the rearview mirror in the first picture:

Can you post a pic of the visor unattatched to the car? I'd like to see what the spring portion looks like. Thanks again for following up on this. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)
