For some time now I have been working on my technique to replicate the sewing of old car, 40-50's sun visors. I'm not quite there but am getting better.
Anyway I need a source for the replacement metal clips ussd at the end of the binding. One end clip is usually long bent piece with a couple of barbs on the back while the other is a fancy metal finished corner piece.
The pics have arrows to the parts I'm lookin for. I once saw a video where it was stated that these pieces could be ordered but many hours of Google and other searching doesn't show anything.
Any ideas? I'm willing to buy in quantity as I'm starting to specialize in this type of visor that no one seems to want to do using the old school method of using a 5/8" wrap over binding. Somewhat difficult to sew correctly.
Thanks for any help you can provide. In the future I'll show my procedure steps to get to where I'm at on this type of work.
