Yes, they are unfortunately. However, just got a pair from Design 911... Cheaper than any others so might as well go with them.
Cheers!

Hi Keith - just looked at the set - do you know if they come with the pins or do you need to buy them seperately?

I believe they come as a kit - I guess I'll find out soon enough!

Are you taking the orange to salts tomorrow?

No, I'm at Goodwood all weekend. Anyway, I'm waiting for the paperwork to come back from DVLA before I hit the road in it.

I swapped the pins from the new ones over to the original plastic hinges, which were fortunately still on the car, and they all work fine. The shape of the plastic hinges that come with the visors bear little relationship to what's actually needed...

Ah...I have two of the original and no pins - so you think buy the kit for the visors and pins and source a replacement (RHS) holder?!?

That's what I"d recommend. They're not 100 per cent accurate but hard to find originals in perfect condition.

yep - located some in the US but as you say, condition and price very different from Design 911
