Morris Minor Owners Club

Car was a '59 saloon now converted to convertible.As its had a replacement panel for the top windsceren frame there are no holes to indicate where the fittings/mounting holes used to be.I found a pair of visors in the box of bits that are seperate(i.e not joined with a rod as in my Traveller)items with a chromed bracket with 2 mounting holes.Will these be correct now the car is a convertible?
TIA

Mine's a 59 car converted to a spilt screen so has centre hung visors.

These are better on the convertible as you can flip them up when the roof is down and it guides the air over your head......

Hi Dave.Any chance of a pic?

The flat vinyl covered sunvisors are the original ones for the '59 car. I have them on my '63 convertible. They flip upwards (or down) and shield eyes from the sun without any problem. If they're a bit tatty/dirty respray them using Plasticote spray in cream (after cleaning of course) They look like new.

There are some in the Hood Frame thread: http://www.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f= ... 19#p440819

These are what I have.Are these not right for '59 convertible?[frame][/frame]

Yes of course I remember.I'll have a look.
Thanks

There better than what's on mine, but are still centre hung so should be fine

Yes those are the earlier "flat" type I referred to - fitted to '59's

Yes, those are the correct visors for the vintage, one for standard trim and two for deluxe. However, convertibles of that vintage had no sunvisors.

Both Tysonn and mine would have had them as they both started life as 2 drs!

Thanks chaps.What a great resource!

Mine is an original 61 ragtop, never had any visors and I have failed to find any holes that suggest they were fitted.
