Default Possible sunvisor replacement (From Miata)

90-97 Miata sunvisors. They come in two different options, 2 piece split and 1 piece. I have a pair and pulled the arm out. It looks very similar to the Fbody arm. I think these might work for our cars. Some experimentation still needs to be done. Grab a set and let me know what you think.

I got a chance to play around with the single piece Miata sunvisors today. Unfortunately the wing is just a little too long and contacts the A pillar. If I bend the wing, then when flipping it down it contacts the windshield(can only be put in the straight down position). If I don't push the sunvisor all the way on the peg then it flops around and won't stay in position. So, unfortunately, my idea is a bust. Sorry to build anyone's hopes up. The two piece sunvisors are a bust as well.
