71 Beetle interior sunvisors

Has anyone found where to get a set of RHD interior sunvisors to suit 1971 1302S.
You cannot swap left to right, and the cutout in the visor for the mirror is different for each side. So any imported LHD interior visors wont fit properly around the offset rearview mirror.

Never thought about LHD/RHD for visors. I have a new set of TMI visors in the shed. I will check them out tomorrow (and will be really peed off if I have thrown my money away)
Cheers

I pondered about this, and went and unscrewed the visors to see if they will swap LH RH. Great thing is that they do. So you can swap LH and RH and they still work. They do however have a big and small cutout for the rear vision mirror, so depending on whether you are LHD or RHD, you just swap the visors over. This is to allow for the rear vision mirror being on an angle and making sure the visors cover the gap as much as possible, and do not hit the mirror when moved up and down.

So I can get a set and they should fit.

Just need to find some without a vanity mirror, as that would be strange being on the outside on the drivers side.

My TMI visors don't have a vanity mirror. However they are called white but they match my off white TMI headliner. If you want to check the colour, PM me and come over to check them out
