Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 39 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2005 Posts: 39 | I know there are different models of Fulton sun visors (ie. split windshield and curved windshield). Is there a way to tell what model I have? The one I have is for a split windshield. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,644 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,644 | Best way to get help is to post a pic or two. Short of that, tell us if the end brackets have 3 or 4 screws? I might can get you in the ballpark with that bit of info.

If so, your dog bones should be relatively flat on one side, resembling a “B”, as opposed to being curved on both sides resembling a figure 8.

If you look very carefully, in the centre section, there should be a model number pressed into the aluminum. I agree, it's likely a 700. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 39 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2005 Posts: 39 | dog bones are relatively flat on one side and they do resemble a "B". I was not able to see the model number in the center section, but I did not clean it up yet. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 |
My number was very faint. Clean it well and use good light. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,644 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,644 | Suggestion.......... shine a flashlight from the side at an angle towards the middle section, then put your eyes at the level of the visor and kook for the faint imprint 1953 panel told you about.

Is your visor apart or installed? The number will not be visible if it is installed. It is on the inside. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 39 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2005 Posts: 39 | I was thinking the same. My visor is not installed, but it is assembled. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 39 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2005 Posts: 39 | I took my Fulton sun visor apart. I did not find a mode number, but I did find "insert red end here" and "Insert yellow end here" on the visor. These markings are clearly visible. No other markings are evident. The paint on this sun visor seems to be the original Fulton paint. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 |
Did your metal rod still have red and yellow paint on the ends? | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 39 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2005 Posts: 39 | I did not take it that far apart. I could easily take it further apart tomorrow. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,644 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,644 | If you take it apart you might get lucky and find the model number. Sometimes when it’s assembled it covers up the lightly imprinted number. Good luck.

If you still need to paint your visor, you might consider painting the underside using a flat finish. It's supposed to reduce glare. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 39 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2005 Posts: 39 | I took my Fulton sun visor apart again and cleaned it up. I'm still not able to see any model number. The red and yellow paint is still visible on the ends of the rods that connect the visor together. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,644 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,644 | The red and yellow paint are only there to help with assembly. Without a picture I still think you have a model 700 based on your description.
