Couple of questions....sunvisor, indicator lens...

Post by Jamie »

Hi, just cleaning a few bits of trim up that are salvageable from the old interior......and i can only find one sun visor in my loft, and with it being five years since i stripped the car, i cant remember if i should have two? it is a base model sept 64 mk1 austin 850, I have had a good look but cant find a second one, does anyone know if the base models came with just one?

Other question is the two glass front indicators i have are different shades of orange, one is a very dark shade and the other is lighter orange is there a correct shade? i'm guessing it doesnt matter too much but i need to find one matching either way so thought i would ask!

Thanks

Jamie

Base models didn't have a visor on the passenger side. The screw holes in the cant rail had small rubber plugs in them. Also you will find that there is no adjustment on the passenger seat and of course the rear side windows are fixed.

Hi Jamie,
There are many different shades of amber beehive lenses, I believe all you need to do is find two that match.

Regards
