Time for another "unobtainable" part search! The sun visors in my 1975 GT4 seem to droop/fall down from time to time. It's not terrible, but I thought I'd try and tighten them up a bit before they get worse. However, when I took a look at it today, I discovered that all but one of the plastic mounting brackets are actually cracked/broken. So I thought it best not to mess with anything just yet. I looked up the parts and discovered they weren't sold separately, rather as part of the visor. I just need four of the little plastic brackets. Not that they'd be obtainable if they were separate parts, but it seems crazy to buy two entire sun visors for a few little pieces of plastic. I've done some looking, but I'm coming up empty. Does anyone know where I can find these? Pic of TAV and my one non-broken one. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I replaced these on my GT4 years ago. I remember I was having a tough time finding them. Wound up looking at either an Alfa or Fiat parts supplier and they had them. I can’t remember which supplier it was, but look around. Ferrari, fiat, Alfa, Lancia, often used many of the same parts.
Just googled and found these, though not the right color. https://www.midwest-bayless.com/Fiat-850-0_p-17798-4779-u8-visor-foot-mount-small-post-fiat-124-spider-850-spider-1967-78-u8.aspx https://autoricambi.us/sun-visor-mounting-post-1979-82/ https://classicalfa.com/in093-1-spider-sun-visor-support-1967-1989-black/ May be worth calling some of these guys to see if there is an option for the right color. Alternatively, you could get some epoxy paint to try to match the correct color?
Thank you!! I think my problem was I couldn't figure out what to call them, nor could I seem to get the right search string. I knew there had to be a Fiat, Alfa, or Lancia part out there that's the same. You've set me on the right path, I'm sure I can find the right color… or, I'll paint them.
