Hi Don,

Are you still making these?

I have a 1983 J model and the stock copilot visor is loose. It seems the plastic tabs that are supposed to hold it in place relative to the metal bar are cracked and not providing enough friction to hold the weight. I think I could probably fix that part but would be happier replacing the set with something sturdier/larger.

If you're not making them, perhaps you could advise on what kind of material you used for the visor proper?  

Adi

you can replace those clips with a small DG clamp, that works well. You’ll just use one of the two holes of course

@DonMuncy Are you still making these? I'd love to buy a set. My factory visors are past their service life, not wanting to spend $600+ on a pair of Rosens. If not I'd love to understand what parts you used so I can make my own.

[DonMuncy]

I would be glad to show you the parts used in my visors, but unless you are a skilled machinist, (with time on your hands) it would be virtually impossible to make your own for anything less than Rosen charges. 

I will be glad to furnish you a set, but I do not have a set in inventory right now. I have a major project going on right now, so it will take me a little while to get some made. 

If you like, I will let you know when I have some available. It will likely be a few weeks.

Please do let me know when you have some available. I am not in a rush. I greatly appreciate your help.

 

On another note: a new user PMed me and suggested I send an email to you. The email they provided is obviously not your email address. They wanted immediate payment and a shipping address.  I've tagged this as a scam. Just a heads up for anyone else this happens to. They didn't get any money from me.

That is a little scary. Was my name of some such in the email address?

Your name is not in the email address at all, which was the dead give away for me. Also the user that PMed me had 0 posts.

FWIW I have a pair of dons visors that I’d be willing to sell if you want. Nothing wrong with them at all. Installed them and removed them simply because on the pre 04 long bodies, the dash sits a bit too high and always got in the way. Shoot me a message if you’re interested.

 

[DonMuncy]

Gevertex, 

If you decided to get the set from Niko, let me know, and I will take "make visors" off my list of things that need to get done soon. 

Incidentally, the visors are pretty sturdy, and having a used set should not present any problems. The shades might get scratched some in use, but they are replaceable.

Hi Don,

Glad this post is making the rounds again. If you are still making them or have a pair handy, I would appreciate it. I have a 1997 M20J.

Thanks

Angelos

Hi Don, I am also interested in a set of visors the next time you are making them.  My 68 M20F has the shade attachments in the outside corners so I believe yours will work perfectly.

Thank you,

Paul

Just catching up to all the replies. I've been traveling by Mooney (the best way to travel). I'd love to take them off your hands. I'll send you a PM and see if we can come to an arrangement. Thanks!

[DonMuncy]

Angelos and Paul. i have you down for a set each, as soon as I can get them done. I have just moved from one residence to another, and am absolutely snowed under for a while.

Don,  would like to put my name down on your list as well.  Thank you.  No rush on my end as well.

Thank you Don. I'll let you know how it goes.

@DonMuncy Haven't heard back from Niko, so probably time to add me back to the list .

TerryDubya and gevertex, I sent both of you PMs.

Another very happy customer of Don's here.  I got the visors installed today and they are fantastic!  Very easy to install and they are so much better than the factory visors that came with my plane.  The visors are very sturdy and can be easily positioned wherever you need them. Thanks Don!

[gevertex]

I got mine today. Thanks Don, they look fantastic! I'll be getting them installed this weekend.

@DonMuncy I sent you a PM regarding the Mapa Logs.

Purchased a set from @DonMuncy a while ago, got around to instlaling a couple weeks ago, now have a few flights. 

Very nice product, quite large compared to stock, work well. The friction adjustments require allen keys so need to get a couple size-specific keys to put in the pockets. And of course Don is a gentleman and supported me with quick shipping and responses. 

Definitely worth it if you are in the market!!
