Anyone got any pics of the plastic sun visor clips on a 65 with the corner pivot visors as mine are missing. Are the Riley 1100 1300 clips the same or do the trick as i can't find any others for sale. Also any pics of the pivot point so i can see how they are fixed, cheers Steve

Thanks for the pics, the side clip looks different to the front clip on your pic.
The clips i am looking at are on ebay item no. 220934140313 please have a look and see what you think. Regards Steve

Those Ebay ones are definately different and might do for the sides with some fettling, but a bit of a risk. I remember someone once telling me Moggy Minor ones may also fit for the front two if you get stuck .

That's interesting, not seen those before. Do they fit into a square hole in the cant rail like the '65 ones shown above on the Surf Blue car ?

Those on the red car are for 850s. Can you confirm if the red car is an 850?

Steve, I have a pair of NOS Y clips - the original thin type. Also have the 1300/thicker type in NOS form. Contact me by PM if you want.

Are yours as useless as mines ?

Actually, they are not the same.

The clips on the left in Steve A's picture are the correct ones, used near the interior mirror. However, the ones on the right are not for a Mini, but they will fit ok in place of the Y clips (shown in Phil Perfect's picture).

And the ones on the right cost me 10 times more than the others :shock: They were supposed to be the correct nos bmc items. The seller must have a few and is now offering them at £42 a pair :shock:

so sorry for not replying sooner. I forgot about this topic.
red mini is January Morris Mini 850 (export, LHD). inner clips on that 850 are like on Steves picture on the left.
