I used the all of the mounts that held up the map pocket and the ones at the front of the car are the 2 mounting clip holes where the sunvisor mounts to.

I have actually used oak battons and wood screws for this first attempt, but I will be remaking the panel and brackets with all ally

This post is useless without pics!

This is the mk1, I'll be making up another one when I get the chance as I'm now happy that I can live with one of these above my head.

I may even look at starting to knock a few of these up to sell on, but that will be over the summer period.

I've now made a new template so I shouldn't need to use rubber to fill the top gap in, oh well I suppose that's R&D  :rolleyes:
