sunvisor mounting position, and mounting arms !

[brettfcars]

Hi, going back a few months I was told the following by Craig Elliott......

"Before you start fitting the headining, remember to make a template, or templates to show you where the screw holes for the sunvisors and rear view mirrors are."

I did as suggested but now months on, I cant find the templates ! and to make matters worst the sunvisors I have were not from this car and so I am not fully sure they are correct.
can someone photograph their position and their mounting.

At the approx mounting position. I think I can feel a large hole, when sticking a needle through the roof lining perforations, but not feeling screw holes ?
I don't want to risk damaging my new headlining for nothing so any info helpfull !

Otherwise car is moving on and almost a car again, after only ever being boxes of bits !

thanks
Brett

Thanks for advice, i did search the forum but spelt sun visor as one word
The copied attached photo helps most of my questions, but i have a new one !
Are screws self tapers or a thread matched to the roof mountings ?
I also I find I have two pairs of visors. One the same as the photo and one black and smooth ? both don't have any indication of a mirror having ever been fitted.
I am going to fit the white set first, and if ok the black set would then be available. They are in very good but grubby condition, no dents or holes and the covering intact.
regards
Brett

Counter sunk Self tapers in mine about 3/4 inch long.

I don't have a template, but this pic of the right hand side mounting point may help.. Note the variety of holes!

Jeremy, are any of the holes threaded? I will be checking mine today, but pretty sure I used a regular screw rather than self tappers like Jason mentions.

Hi

All mine are the same.

All self tappers on my car, not the best solution, but that seems to be the way they were made... I also have a pic of the mirror mounting if this is any use..

Thanks guys. I replaced my screws with self tappers and the visors are way better aligned now. I had used the wrong screws.
