What were they thinking when they designed the sunvisors to work in ONE DIMENSION on Mk1 Capri ?????
 
..........or were all the roads just in an EAST/WEST direction ?
 
Does anyone know which are the best S/Visors to replace the one-way SV on Mk1 Capri please ? 

The 72 had two way sun visors. The earlier ones were one way. 72 mounts on a clip on the mirror with a spring on the side windows to adjust it.

Thanks Wiggy,
 
must have a stern word with Ford since my 1972 165HP Special was at very end of Aust Production , so shooda had
 
the "intelligent" sunvisors !  Realistically, somebody has pulled a swifty in 40 years !
 
cheers

Hi all,
as my LAST REQUEST FOR THE YEAR, if anyone out there has LATE 1972 ARTICULATED SUNVISOR PAIR, please let me knoW how much, as these "original" ones out of the Ark are downright dangerous.
Meantime, I may have to super-glue a second FLAP on to mine to improve safety, which I'm loathed to do as it means "spoiling" a piece of history. Maybe CLIPS instead of super-glue !?
HNY all
Bernie

Sounds like u may have a 70-71 shell

The 72 has holes for the sun visors as per the following pic


The earlier shells as per next pic


You'll have t drill the extra holes for the 72 visors

WOW! that's a bit extreme ! ...........hope ur wrong on that one !
I'd rather start at the other end and think positive that there's a chance someone's force fed
a set of 1970 single plane Visors which is 100% more likely than re-shell.
Over 100 experts have examined my matching tags and every one of them say they're genuine
Must have a fondle of Stephanie Plum's roof REO panel and pray that extra 30-40 mm hole is there
"Che Sera, Sera"

a re-shell is ok (to me).
 
But obviously it's extremely important (over 100 people) to you.
 
- Id be very disappointed in those people you engaged - over 100 - all that time, money and effort.
 
Even one of them should have AT LEAST questioned silly things like this one. It could be an aberration (earlier visors on a 72 aust build - esp late 72) - but it would be just that and should have been at least noted by - even one of them.
 
72 aust builds had a lot of minor differences that should be picked up and pointed out to a client, if your going all out for authenticity
 
(personally - I don't care, but ive never gone out of my way - in this sense -  like you have. Your car is a very nice restorer - love it! - not fussed re the Stillwell or 72 stuff!)
 
 
(your next prob will be finding a pair with the centre clip - not sure if escorts are the same - they are hard to get. The earlier ones you can get off ebay UK and were used in the facelifts)

Could it be like JR said in an earlier post that, as this was one of the last Australian builds, that they had simply run out of later sunvisors and used whatever was in the parts bin at the time?
 
Happy new year to all, Terry

mk2 escort ones are a direct fit.  I fitted visors, direct stick rear view mirror and centre clip from an escort to my 72.
 
100 experts and no one questioned the 1970 bonnet pins.

hmmm very interesting indeed, I wonder how that may have happened?
