Interior Sun Visor 1940 Standard Sedan

[DAVIDBELCHER]

I’ve recently acquired a 1940 Sedan without any interior sun visors.
Can anyone please advise the options for fitting and recommend where I can find the right items - reproduction is fine.

Deuce has led you to a correct visor for your Ford V8 (aka standard). Your model came with only a left-hand visor, the right hand being optional. Me? For $20, I'd waste no time buying the one Deuce offered the link to.

Thanks for that - I’ve enquired. I would need UK shipping. I’d settle for a left only - any other options ?

If your headliner is already installed is there enough slack in it to "fit" the sun visor?
If the headliner is already pulled tight, it may not stretch enough to allow the bracket to seat on the metal.
If you don't have the headliner already installed you are ok.

Question for Kube, Don Cox, or anyone else who knows, were the visor brackets actually the same 1935-48 (except for finish) or were there differences... And what were they? (inquiring minds)

I believe they are the same. Here's my 40. Driver side and Pass. side.
I will measure mine if you desire.

Karl, you're asking me? Heck, you're the guy I typically seek knowledge from.
I can tell you this with a 99% degree of confidence; '35 to '41 utilized the same bracket. After that, my confidence in providing a correct replay drops to about 85%.
I do believe the bracket is the same through the years questioned sans finish and possibly the length of the rod.

So - I’ve got a new headlining fitted but no sun visors .What do the heart shaped brackets screw/locate into ?
I’m working a bit blind here.

Here you go, this is the left side.

Here you go, this is the left side. View attachment 652412

Thanks - that makes it clear. A fishing trip !!
Presumably self tapping screws.

Self-tapping, chrome plated, oval head (slotted of course). If memory serves, #12, 1/2" length.

Great information - thanks.
