looking good you know the one command is a DT command or possibly an early T command :panic:

Hopefully your using the original brass or matching it up exact :thumbsup:

(Never seen bent cast visors.....only broke or cracked)



OT
I had my 2 type D 4 ways laying in the paint booth and one got kicked under the mustang. Heath let it down off the jack stands and let it down right on a cast visor. It held the car up but it bent the visor and didnt break. The car is lowered if your wondering why it sat so low

Haha...wasn't thinking about the old lowering the mustang on the DT 4-way trick. Realistically though, of all the visors in the field, maybe only 30% of them have had Mustangs lowered on them.

The :lensgo: did come off a T light. I do plan on putting in a :lensgo: that matches the other lenses eventually.

:scratch: Actually the :lensstop: :lenscau: are the earlier lenses. See the lens tab indentations? T's / early D's. The :lensgo: is later, more than likely came in a DT/M.
