Custom Visors - Of Course

Starting to layout the custom sun visor. Used 3/8" rod to form up the structure.

Covered the structure with cardboard to make the template for the sheet metal.

Getting ready to cut out the metal. Added a 1/2" to the pattern for a hem seam.

After some work in the english wheel.

Tip the lip on both sides to form the hem seams. Tip past 90 degrees then hammered down to finish it up. Next Chris used a mechanical brake with a 2 1/2" dye to form the sides of the visor. Sorry I got caught up in the moment and forgot to take the pictures of some of the last steps. 

Need to made the mounting hardware and do some fine tuning and that should finish up the visor.

Chris built the new hardware that will attach the visor to the truck and finished dialing in the rest of the final fit. Here he drilled and tapped the center post to accept a screw that he made with a post so that it would connect to the hardware on the visor. 

These are the right and left side of the visor that fit inside the drip rail that are tapped on the bottom and then screwed in through the bottom of the drip rail.

After trying out two column drop brackets and two different kind of universal joints we were able to get the steering setup all worked out. We used a steer clear to help out on the setup. Next we will make the bracket that will hold the steer clear stationary.

Used a bearing through the fire wall to support the shaft that goes to the steer clear from the column.

This is the bracket that supports the dash and the column drops.

The two column drops that we used and we also used a universal vibration dampener joint instead of a rag joint.
