I'm Awesome
Put together a bit of a 'how to' I put together a while back.
Firstly....I had to shorten the shaft which mounts the visor to the mounting bracket.
This meant grinding the 'folded over' top off the shaft.
Next I cut the 'hole bosses' down so the mounting brackets would sit flush on the ceiling.
Next, I trimmed about 10mm off the plastic on the mounting shaft so the plastic coating sat a fraction below the edge of the hole in the mounting bracket.
Then, I cut an 8mm thread on the shaft.
Next step was to install a nut and then cut the excess threaded shaft off flush with the nut.
I tapped a 12mm thread into the mounting holes in the plastic mounting brackets so as I could insert a 'step' for the mounting screws to rest on.
I drilled a 8mm hole through the centre of a 12mm bolt and then cut slices off it.
I super glued and threaded these 'slices' into the 12mm tapped holes in the mounting brackets.
So...that's the visors prepared.
Next....mounting them to the ceiling of the Burb.
