- Remove horizontal center trim piece running from pilot side post to
co-pilot side post. (See figure 2 above)
-
Expose spar near corner posts by gently pulling
headliner material up off of fabric hooks riveted to forward section
of spar.
- While sitting in pilot seat and looking up at spar, locate gusset
(or angle piece) running from top of post to spar.
-
Pencil mark bottom of spar ¾" inboard
of gusset. (See figure 3 below)
Slip channel clamp over spar, with left edge of clamp in alignment
with pencil mark, and short flange facing forward.
- Uniformly tighten front and rear cone screws with 1/8" Allen
wrench provided. (Insure that channel clamp is pushed up as close to
spar as possible)
- Install three #8 screws with sharp point down (these screws are used
to mark horizontal trim piece in order that holes can be drilled in
proper locations). Screws should be installed 'finger tight' only (See
figure 4, below), as they will be removed and re-used when installing
co-pilot side visor.

-
Carefully realign horizontal trim piece running across
spar. When in original position, push firmly up against #8 pointed
screws protruding from channel clamp. These marks can now be punched
or drilled with 3/16" bit. Drill through plastic trim only, as
drilling through fabric headliner will stretch or tear material.
- Remove #8 screws and save for use on co-pilot side.
- Stretch headliner fabric back over fabric hooks on spar. Puncture
fabric at same location of three holes used to attach visor bracket
to channel clamp.
- Using three 8/32" flat head Philips screws, attach visor marked
"pilot side" through headliner material to channel clamp.
(See figure 5 below)

Figure 6 |
- Fit vertical trim piece back on post. Top left corner will slightly
overlap visor bracket. (See figure 6 above)
- Carefully mark location on trim piece that will be notched out to
fit around bracket. (PLEASE NOTE: It is better to make small cuts and
repeat procedure several times, rather than cutting a notch that is
too big the first time!)
- Cut out notch and file cut edges of trim piece smooth.
-
Install warning horn in trim piece and re-attach trim
piece to post. (See figure 7 below)
- Repeat procedure for co-pilot side.
- Properly installed visor systems should hang level across windshield
and swing unobstructed to side window. (See figures 8a and 8b below)
