Default Driver's side sunvisor

Mine fell off this weekend. The mount broke. Does anybody know where to get one of these? Probably an upholstery shop, I'm thinking.

I might have a spare one. My passenger side visor broke off a while ago. A friend of mine recently gutted his T/A for racing and is sending me (I think) both sunvisors. My driver's side is fine so I won't be needing his.

How did it break, does the retaining washer not stay on the post...?

If so, find a bolt with slighty larger diameter than the hole in the post, tap matching threads into the hole, get a washer with the same OD as the original but ID to match the bolt, and put it all together (spring, old washer, new washer, bolt), use some loctite on the bolt; do not overtighten.

No, unfortunately the washer and spring did not come out with the mount.
