    Re: Sun visor

    Am sure that's right. Later Fiat Dino Spider might also be the same as they're shorter, courser grain leatherette with the same black plastic mountings (and the seams split in exactly the same place) - but I think basically 124 and still available at reasonable money. I don't remember ever seeing the Stratos having the vanity mirror on passenger side; did it?

    There's then a bit of jiggery-pokery to do, which involves (a jig), and an oven, et Voila, you'll have a pair of Stratos sun-visors.

    The 124 Spider has two types of mounting pin if I remember correctly - the inner ones are the ones we need 4 off but the outer ones have the visor pivot pin integrated into the clip for the hood clamp.

    Wrong type:

    Right Ones

    At the moment no, David can get that information but if he doesn't have it written down you'll have to wait until April Struan......... Or find another source!
