I recently noticed on ebay that a dismantled early Shadow appeared to have visors that could swing to the side as well as up and down. If so, why on earth did they change it? Would it be theoretically possible to retrofit using the original configuration and a bit of (reversible) ingenuity? The best solution I've managed to come up with for the lack of a side visor in my 1974 Shadow is a baseball hat at a rakish angle.   John Kilkenny Prolific User Username: john_kilkenny Post Number: 108 Registered: 6-2005 Posted on Tuesday, 01 February, 2011 - 10:46 pm:    Hello Jeffrey, Here is the assembly for SRH1405. Both sunvisors swing round to the window.   Jeffrey McCarthy Prolific User Username: jefmac2003 Post Number: 251 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Wednesday, 02 February, 2011 - 05:42 am:    Thanks for that John - how very odd that they deleted something so fundamentally practical. I assume the window end fittings screw into a fitting welded to the roof - next time I get close to an early car I'll do a close inspection.
