My Bradley GT II doesn't have any sunvisors. Looking through the original plans I don't see any mentioned or in any pictures. If you have some, what type works best?
Thanks,

The GT II did not have any sunvisors installed or designed.
I am at that point in my Brad also.
I have the sunvisors from a Honda civic that need recovering. To mount the sunvisor and that little support stub you need a flat horizontal surface on the head liner. The stem of the visor needs to clear about 1.5 inch into the head liner and roof area. The big question is will the head liner be strong enough to support the sunvisor, because it will be near the area where the 'A' piller was cut off and the covering is tuck under the door weather seal for support. You would need to find that location and build up the head liner base. From what I have seen most of the visors mount the same. Another question, will the visor be in the way of exiting the car?

Since I've removed the headliner piece to wire a dome light, I can't help but think that any sunvisor will more than likely have to be a simple flip down on a couple hinges. The headliner is very flimsy and there really isn't room for the standard hardware to work. The other day, I saw some flip down visors that are meant to attach to existing sunvisors that were tinted like dark sunglasses. Hmmm....

I just use limo black 2% tint and run a 6" strip on the glass. There should be a white line on the windshield on each side where the AS1 lettering is. This is the marker for tinting.

As much as I like the tint across the windshield idea, I'm pretty sure that's a "no go" in Washington state. Just looked it up - Tinting is limited to a 35% and nothing on the windshield.
Baseball cap or visor for me.

Baseball cap or visor for me. Check again, Tinting above the AS1 line or roughly 5 inches down from the top is legal. Look at all the factory cars with the top tinted blue. Found this site. It lists all states hubpages.com/hub/Window-Tinting-LawsWashington - Front Side Windows: 24% Back Side Windows: 24% Rear Window: 24% Windshield: Non reflective on top 6" |
