The visor holes are different on the 72. Probably adr made it mandatory they could move sideways. I don’t think it would of been possible they were changed in the factory. But afterwards is anyone’s guess.

Yes the swinging sunvisors and screen mounted rear view mirror is an ADR requirement for 1972 on.  Mk1 Escorts and the TC Cortina were the same.  I have the centre clip, not sure if I have sun visors though.  Escort ones will fit.  
 
What rear view mirror is fitted to your car Bernie?  The bracket type into the headlining, or the XA glue on type?

Hi John
 
the Bracket type at headlining ........ this makes me remember a stack of Escort parts given to me 25 years ago ......which is another problem remembering if Visors were in the stack and where did I put them ........  this'll teach me for hoarding so many cars and parts that I have doubtful hope of unloading them via ebay in this lifetime.
 
I should be grateful the WWW was ever invented, as what I have sold since 1990 via WWW, would have taken 5 times as long or more, via "ICPOTA" and The Trading Post via Newsagent , swapmeets,  etc !
 
cheers

Would the XA TO XC FALCON rv mirror on screen BE CORRECT  for 72 Capri ?

I was messing around with my 69 donor car today and its visors have roof mounted clips but they are able to rotate to the door side.  Same for my 1970.

No.  The Falcon mirror is about 20% bigger

Bernie, perhaps you could try a TC Cortina rear view mirror, sticks onto the windscreen, if you can find one, that is!

I have  aftermarket mirror (Morey Haigh?) I bought in the early 1990s. Sticks to the windscreen like OEM Falcon, but is the right size (narrower) for the Capri.  The OEM Capri mirror just crumbled when touched - 20+ yrs (at that stage) of good old Aussie sunshine.

Escort stick on mirrors- are they the same as the Falcon? What size are Capri ones? Len

Escort TC-D Cortina and Capri all use the "3/4 size" mirror, the falcon is wider, Id have to measure one to give you the size
