67 Roadster Sun Visors

[Todd G.]

I have researched the archives and found some information on this, but still am not clear on the key distinguishable differences between original sun visors and reproductions (those differences that I can mainly tell from a photo). I have read that the dimensions and curves are different, but in one nice archived forum documentation there are 2 pictures showing a repro and an original, noting differences, but it does not indicate which one is which.
I am searching for some decent originals but want to be able to tell for sure in photos if they are original.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Todd
Since no one jumped on this with pics, a couple of items are:
Originals...The bindings are usually thinner and the stitches are longer.
The stainless clips are about 1/2", repops are longer, about 3/4's.
Hopefully, this will help you ditinguish the original in the picture.

I don't have close ups in my pictures but look at these if they help.

Re: 67 Roadster Sun Visors

Thanks Mike and Kevin. Do you what are the differences, if any, between 66/65 visors vs. 67. Were 67 roadster visors unique to 67?
Again, just trying to understand 67 visors when I am looking at them.

Hi Todd
'66 config would be the same, but, that does not help you with a '67 only color.
