hawkinsm Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Hi, Can anyone advise me on sun visors for TR4 It's very confusing on Moss and Rimmer what will fit. Thanks Maggie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Hi Maggie for the TR4 with either surrey or convertible you need the straight armed rods The TR4A Surrey can use these. items #50 & 52 Here these would be correct Items 50 & 51 HERE These are for the TR4A convertible and are cranked to get around the roof buckle but will fit. DO NOT use anything for the TR5/6 whatever the seller says. Not generally available from the big boys. Can be found on EBAY for apprx £50 +++++ I make my own fr £50 the set And I believe Tony Sheach is now making them with sturdy ABS plastic ends. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ianc Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Roger mentioned that Tony Sheach was producing brackets, and those on ebay are from Tony. As with anything Tony produces, very smart. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
qkingston Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Although I have been very happy with the rest of my 4a interior trim from John Skinner, I was pretty disappointed with the sun visors; fairly thin and bendy, also very stiff to rotate on the rods. Although my originals from the US car were completely knackered, they were definitely more substantial. Are there better ones out there? David Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TR4Tony VC Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Hi all Ive had a small run of these made as all the secondhand ones I came across were defective in some way. For the TR4, but my next job is to get some cranked arms done for the 4a if there is enough interest. The black blobs are high strength ABS so that they can be threaded and wont crack, the rods are stainless so that they wont rust onto the sun visors and the centre rods have the groove cut into them which allows the visor to stay up / down in the right position. Not strictly replicas but I think better ! Completely interchangeable and take the same coarse thread screws in the same position on the screen surround.
