Sun Visors - MY Touring Wagon

Post by GunFactory » Fri Nov 02, 2012 9:09 pm

Hi all,

Couple of Questions:

1 - Wondering if any of the MY/Brumby models ever featured a sun visor above the windscreen, like a big metal one?

2 - How common are the black plastic vented contraptions that mount over the rear window/gate that also deal with the sun!

3 - Has anyone seen either of these items (assuming no. 1 exists) for sale?

Thanks!

Didn't bid first time round, the louver was too long for Aust post. Its back up again, I'm Tempted to explore courier cost.. I've never had to organise one.

Would this be outrageously expensive? or is there potential here haha.

I'm sure there are a few options : Cost would be about $90 ( in a bike box ) if you go the bus 'Depot' route ( you just need to locate them )
Or find someone from here that can bring it down to you ... ( Sorry I can't - no wheels atm )

P.S. - Make sure it's packed well with Foam, Fragile stickers, etc ...

Hope it all works for you ... :)

I have the same rear louver on my 82 MY wagon but it came with the car.
They would be rare I imagine.

Try e-go couriers, they specialise in eBay purchases and the prices are generally pretty good.
