Sunvisors for 230SL
« on: April 15, 2022, 00:01:26 »
Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has a set of 230SL/250SL Sunvisors?

Any condition will be accepted as I am going to rebuild them and essentially just need the frames.

Thanks Doug.

Hi Gary,

Just to clarify, I don’t have any sunvisors, hence why I’m looking to buy some old ones to refurbish, but thanks for your response.

Doug.

They are different RHD to LHD due to mirror in passenger visor.
I believe I may have an old set of RHD one somewhere.

for restoration, you can take the frames from w114 and shorten them a little. I did this, the result looks like the original.

Replaced my visors some time ago so have a set of the old ones that I would part with. I see that you are in Australia though...is the country accepting incoming mail now? They were not a few months ago.

Hi,

I’ll send you a PM as I don’t need them shipped to Australia.

Thanks Doug

A big thank you to mistertj for giving me his old set of sunvisors.

They are going to a new home on a car on the bottom of the world.

Thanks again mate.
