Gruppe:

Sorry bout that last post.  Premature emailification.

As I was saying, only a few E9's at Ofest.  Sharon Turner showed a nice '73
CS and took 3rd in Concours Original, and Scott Hughes took 3rd in the
concours Race class with his CSL.  Several sweet 02's, including a cabrio.

A new Ofest event this year was Bimmermeet, two days of driving and related
events at Road Atlanta added on to the end of the week.  That attracted 3
CS's and one CSL (Scott Hughes again).  I may have missed a couple.  Events
like Vintage @ The Vineyards in NC seem to be attracting many more of the
early cars.

Anyway, the main reason for this post: my sun visors have bugged me for long
enough.  This vinyl visor portions are actually in pretty good shape, but
the plastic escutcheons at the A-pillars are cracked, the mounting screws
are rusted, and the L-shaped metal rods are uglified.

My questions:  how do I get the L-shaped metal rod out of the visor?  Was it
originally chrome-plated?  Are the plastic escutcheons available?  Source
for new chrome screws?

Thanks for any advice and/or leads.
