Early car sun visor clips
Posted: Sat Jan 15, 2022 12:31
I learnt this week that Lotus actually provided a bespoke clip for the sun visor.
Previously I thought all cars left the factory with a short, flat steel comb, neatly cut in two, then tucked into the cant rail
I thought this design was quite neat - and very typically Lotus / Chapman. It uses the twist of the cant rail trim to act as a spring, allowing the visor to slide past when raised, and to drop you just push where the arrow is, and as we all know, the visor then falls under gravity. Beautiful.
Has anyone got a spare pair? - Rocking horse **** I can hear you all saying, so more realistically, anyone with a car that has them and the rest of the car is not standard, would they be prepared for a swop if I modelled a couple in Aluminium in exchange?
