I've been looking to buy a set of screws that attach to the clips that hold the visors. I have the OEM clips so only need the screws. I have no problem in buying the clips if it's sold as a set.

Anyone know where I can find these?

Thanks, Chad

What part are you talking about here.  Check out the picture below (enlarge to see pins and screws better).  The screws holding the brackets to the car are readily available.  The visors are held to the chrome bracket by pins.  They are peened over but since the chrome is pot metal a better idea to keep from breaking the pot metal is use glue if needed to hold the pin.  It is 3/16" diameter.

Thanks for your quick response Brad. I need the pins that hold the visor to the brackets. I thought they were screws.

These pins are more like dowels with chrome ends. Can't say I have ever seen them for sale so if lost I have always used some unobtrusive stainless machine screws and nuts. Not the best if your worried about authenticity but if you have nothing else?

I just used some 3/16 stainless rod.  Cut to the proper length and polish the ends.  I had to make new visor boards so just made the holes in the board slightly small for an interference fit.  So far they have held fine.  If you are used original visors I would think some glue placed just right would work.
