If you can't easily see where they mount you probably have the headliner covering the hole. On each side there should be a large hole in the metal structure surrounded by three small holes for the screws. When I mounted mine I was going thru a fiberglass headliner but knew the approximate location of the mounting surface. I used an ice pick to locate and then open the holes. I don't have a photo of before installing the headliner, perhaps someone can supply that. In the mean time perhaps these photos (if they show up) will give you the approximate location of the underlying metal mounting surface.
That’s a good topic to start Gerard. I didn’t know about this forum four years ago when I bought my ‘57 3200 and installed interior visors. I tried my best to hold them in place and swing them around but I goofed because when I swing them to side window they run down hill a couple of inches. I’ll be interested to here the pros explain this.

I would say they are a snug fit. You have to be careful with the NOS or originals that you tighten them down equally, if you don’t the ears can break off, trust me on that. I used a sharp punch to locate the three screw holes and for the first hole for the arm, I then enlarged that hole carefully with an X-acto knife.

Brad Allen, I would also like to get a copy of that PDF if possible. I am trying to mount visor brackets in a 1950 pickup that has custom interior and headliner. Would like to have the best chance at not screwing it up. Thanks

Is there any way I can get the template for the sun visor installation, my email is dmontano123@msn.com thanks
Brad is still active on this site, so maybe a PM might get his attention.

Here's the one your looking for ? Think its from Brad, originally. You should be able to download it and print it.
