Sun Visors

Post by SeanP »

Wonder if you guys can help

Have received a set of sun visors from Lakewell, they say that they are for 911 and 912 from 1965 through to 1973.

Looking at them and the remaining sun visor in my car there are obvious differences in the fitting of them and shape etc.

My car is a 1966 912 with the grey/beige clips and all white visors.

The ones form Lakewell are black and white with a fixing bracket with a nut that allows them to swivel and a clip. From reading up on this sort of thing Porsche changed the sun visors in 1967 or 68 to this new type.

Will they fit? are there holes behind the headliner for the nut swivel bracket?

Thanks in advance

Up to 1967 the visors do not swivel and as far as I know no one makes these new. You will have to drill the roof rails to get those to fit.
