There seems to be enough interest to put another one of these together.
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 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.
The price for vinyl is $104 with your cores. Please send stripped as shown or there is an additional $10 in cost (any it costs you more to ship). This price is + shipping back at cost. Figure about $10 domestic give or take a few bucks.

It really depends on when we hit 20.
Thy all have to be done together, so if guess we could start in 2-3 weeks, and it would be 2 weeks from there.
The big issue is I need 20 sets in hand to start.

Mark my guess is that there are hundreds of 914s that need new visors. I don't know where anyone could get a set these days. I've been searching for a set for years to replace mine. At your price, its a no brainer.

Wow - those look great!
You wouldnt happen to be able to a set for a 911 would you??

BTW Mark,
Shouldn't the mirror flap be hinged on the other (bottom) side? You'd want the flap hang down and uncover the mirror without the need to otherwise hold it up. To me, your setup looks upside down.

Yeah, I know it's the pass side, but help me out....Maybe I'm having a senior moment here, but the the photo shows the visor(s) in their mounted and pulled down orientation, correct?

I'm in for a set Mike. Also I will be in contact next week to order seals. I'm doing a complete re-paint. I don't need all the seals in the complete seal package Sao hoping for some help.
Also, any news on the dash? I have a 75 and the interior is the next stage.

Yes they can be done in leather, but it will be extra, I'll have to see what the additional cost is.

the visor is shown in the down position. The flap should be down when open too.

There isn't enough room to open one against the roof and one would have to pin it or hold it up in order to use.

I need visors so badly. However, I don't have cores. Anyone have a set I could buy? Also, any chance to get them just solid with no mirror? I know....I know...high maintenance.

Mar 5 2014, 07:47 PM
I like MoveQik's idea: no mirror on the passenger side and no pouch on the drivers side. Keep things simple. If it's too much of a PITA to do I understand.

Michael - Your build was one of the conversions that inspired me. PM me your adress and I will send you a set of cores.

Count me in too, no clips.
I tried to order earlier this afternoon but
Comcast decided to upgrade something. 5 hours or so on the phone and we still can't get the modem to recognize the router
Let me know when and where to mail the cores.

I'm in for one but would like leather as a first choice depending on $$

Mark,
One set plus clips. I reside in the underside of the world where we drive on the left hand side of the road so it is OK if the mirror is on the US driver's side.
Will strip cores this weekend and send them to you.
Thanks
