Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi

Just a quick question.
Can a fellow member who has a steel sunvisor please tell me the dimensions as I have just bought what was supposed to be A morris one but it's too narrow by about 5 inches at 42 inches. So I would like to know the size of a proper on

46 " they clamp to the gutters either side of the screen

Easy, if your going for the rat look, chop it in half and weld four inches in the centre. In the same way they solved the series MM bumper problem !

Or flog it on ebay as "Super rare Morris Mosquito sun visor"

Been trying to work out what it's for. Too big for a30/35. Maybe mini

My wife thinks we should have a sun visor on Bertie but I imagine it must knock off at least 5 mpg and be quite noisy? What's the verdict on 'em?

The economy impact is always the first thing that comes into my mine. That, and they look ghastly in my opinion. Surely it must narrow your field of vision?

Some people are just collector-maniacs for period accessories, but it doesn't do it for me. Each to his own, I suppose.

They do have an effect on your top speed .
Fuel consumption, without a doubt , but only if your doing out of town speeds .
On the plus side you don't get as much rain hitting your screen , they do keep the sun out your eyes, and the cab cooler (depending on which way your facing, ) and for reason's that I'm not sure of you don't get anywhere near as much frost ,in the winter, and it's usually soft an easy to scrape off . Could be a good winter mod for the northern folk , weigh off the cost of the extra fuel against de-icer
But the highest plus of all , on my truck , it looks awesome

I love my visor.
I don't drive over 50~55 mph.
I am 6 feet tall and don't have issues but don't have many stoplights in the area.
