As I inventory my new 29 Sedan I seem to be short the visor piece that attaches over the windshield at the top. I've included a PIC with arrow pointing to what I believe this car should have.



Are there any Repro's available



thanks

Jack

    You are correct, it was on Ebay. I bought it from the seller after the listings expired. How can you help with a visor?

    Thanks

    I think some things are mixed up here. It looks to me like the photo of the green '29 is a Briggs body. I think the car you have (tan) is a Biddle and Smart body. The visors would not be a one piece stamped steel construction like the green one is. They would instead be a steel framed construction that was covered with material that matched the top. Flatter and bigger looking. The visor would then get a curvey support bracket on each end that would hold the ends of the visor in place. I could be wrong. But that's what it looks like to me.:)

    I have the all steel Hudson built Body, Standard Sedan. I used that blue-green pic as an example of what I was looking for. I could be wrong in the style as I have nothing to go by and there doesn't seem to be a decent picture around to say "That's It!"

    This is the type of visor that I "think" goes on your car. If there were no material on the visor it would just be frame work. Made out of something like eighth by half inch bar stock. I don't know the dimensions, but I'm trying to give you an idea of what it looks like. Maybe you have the visor and don't realize it.

    Notice on your "A" pillar, next to the windshield and about five inches down there is a single screw hole. That looks like the mount for the curvey bracket that would secure the end of the visor.

    Good Call! As you say I have that hole on both sides, no other obvious mounting. I'm down to about 8 metal trim piecies nothing resembling a flat panel with or without cloth covering. I also don't see any curved round stock piecies in the part boxes. If the support brackets are of 1/8 or 1/4 round stock they would be pretty easy to fab up. However the entire assembly would tend to act as an airfoil I would guess at higher speeds. I would think there would be a center mount or something to take the stress off the side brackets and keep the visor from bending in the middle.
