[6pack] Sun visor concerns

[Jerry Guyot]

Had that problem on a Spitfire and somebody on that list told me to remove 
the visor from the rod and "Bend" the rod just a little bit and then 
re-insert the visor back onto the rod. This creates friction between the 
"Rod" and the "Visor" This takes a little bit of "Trial & Error"...... But 
it worked for me..... No more floppy Visor :-)

Friends, I'm posting to three lists because this has to be a common Triumph 
problem with the older
car. I've been out today in the Triumph Trans-AmeriCan UK fundraising 
Spitfire for a photoshoot.
Lovely sunny day, though not all that warm, but with the tonneau in place, 
the heater blower doing
its (not very impressive) best, it was side-windows down, a zipped up fleece 
and a red wool hat. Car
went superbly and no complaints there at all - except for one. Has anyone 
worked out a way of how to
re-tension the sun visor to stop it flip-flopping about its screen monted 
stay? Everything's OK up
to about 75 - and sometimes 85 - but I am getting rather tired of it 
suddenly plunging down and
completely obscuring my forward vision. Currently the car isn't fitted with 
a self-draining driving
seat but if another truck suddenly pulls out in front of me with the sun 
visor down, I may have to
investigate the engineering possibilities..........
