1966 original sunvisors(SJC built fastback)
« on: November 26, 2017, 02:34:37 PM »
I assumed my sunvisors were reproduction simply due to their age. (The hardware was marked original ford parts)  I found what I believe to be originals.  The sticking looks brown, or at least not black like the ones in my car.  How do I determine which are original.  Both sets have original hardware with the Ford part#.

Could you define "sticking"?

Ah, thanks. There's a lot of interpretations of words on this forum, some with dual meanings. Being that this forum is read, frequented, used, referred to and quoted world wide, you should use correct English all the time so as not to mislead those readers of this language that is not their first.

I don't think my misspelling of the word "stitching" could be mistaken for anything else, given the context in which it was used.

Good question. Would have to have (or done it in the past) both types side by side for comparison or at least very detailed pictures. Would start with (without tearing them apart) stitching and the thin edge trim since I think the moon skin material has been pretty close to what was originally used. 

Maybe someone else (sure this is the reason you ask) has traveled this road before will share their findings
