Since I started building up a stock of black leather offcuts, I've been looking at what else can be done. The sun visors on my car are not MMC, but I do like them. However the fixings are exposed. On the side facing the occupants, are four crosshead screw heads, and all that was needed was some screw caps secured with double sided tape. In this photo, the dust revealed by the flash is astonishing................
On the other side, it looks like this:
A simple small strip of neoprene, with a single hole punched through for location, then with a small leather offcut glued on top, with a gentle curve, and it looks like this:
Next I looked at the door checks. These are Librands and are excellent. But I wanted to conceal the fixing brackets behind a leather face. Again. a small piece of neoprene punched to locate over the fixings. Then using spray adhesive the leather can be curved round the edges. All fixed with double sided tape. This photo as standard.
