<p>Karl, That is great that Lowe's had the bolts! You would be surprised what that have in all those bins. I've been known to spend some quality time at the nut & bolt bins at Lowe's, Home Depot and Ace. I actually found some car stuff (e.g. exhaust bolts) at Ace that neither Lowe's or HD carried! <br></br>On the sleeve, perhaps they sent you the grommet that goes…</p>

I've been known to spend some quality time at the nut & bolt bins at Lowe's, Home Depot and Ace. I actually found some car stuff (e.g. exhaust bolts) at Ace that neither Lowe's or HD carried! <br/>On the sleeve, perhaps they sent you the grommet that goes on the other end of the rod where it fits into mirror/visor holder. Those are more like short sections of rubber hose.. which is actually a good substitute.</p>
<p>The bracket end sleeve is a very thing piece of plastic, with a split down the side. I have posted a picture of 2 originals below. If you cannot find any let me know as I might have a couple of good originals. About 1/2 to 2/3 don't survive well, but think I have a couple sets left...and I have a 73K mile parts car in the drive way that might have good ones.</p>

<p>The visor bracket/striker screws as seen below are 1/4" x 20 size thread with an external star lock washer around head as seen below. There are 2 types of nylon inserts/sleeves. The visor sleeve that goes into the visor bracket where it tightens around the vistor rod (sleeve allows it to turn but stay relatively tight) and the nylon insert for the top male guide insert. See the two green arrows in 3rd pictures. I know I have the nylon sleeve but may have the other nylon insert or screws. I…</p>

Let me know if you need any of these and will check. You can shoot me an email to jasonedge@nc.rr.com.</p>
