Re: visors?
If you want new, Classic Industries has them for $89. If you want old, put your request on the Parts wanted section.

Re: visors?
I used hard top sunvisors for a while until I redid the original ones. It looked fine :

Re: visors?
Hopefully, you still have the visor brackets....hardtops and t-top/convertible visors use different brackets. I found this out when I installed visors in my car. The PO had replaced the headliner, but never bothered to install either the brackets, or the visors. Ended up getting a pair with brackets from Hawk's for Christmas.

Re: visors?
The T-top/convertible brackets are closer to a 90 degree angle, and the hardtop brackets have more of a "lean" built into them. The hardtop brackets will fit the car, but the visors will droop downwards, and not sit parallel to the headliner.
Keep in mind, they will work, they just look kinda funny. I didn't realize there was a difference until my visors came in, and they accidently sent me one of each kind of bracket. They sent me the proper one a few days later, and all was well.
