Sun Visor Replacement

Update-I called Vantage Plane Plastics and explained what I needed. I
scanned the broken visor and sent the image and dimensions to them and
they were able to identify the manufacturer (it isn't a Rosen product).
They called the manufacturer for me and were told that they were no
permitted to sell them as singles--had to sell as a pair. But they
said they could provide a blank piece of the same plastic, cut to the
size I need, and all I have to do is drill the holes. No charge.

Update:

In today's mail was the replacement lucite piece . . . Vantage Plane
Plastics enclosed a copy of their fax to the manufacturer . . . the
entire replacement was done at no charge . . . not even shipping. I
will only have to do some careful drilling to resolve this entire
episode. I could not be any more pleased and satisfied. Vantage Plane
Plastics gets ALL my business from now on for anything I need that they
supply.

Any ideas on where I can find JUST one sun visor (side loading for
Skyhawk)?

Hi Rosspilot

I know that right now you are shopping for sun visors,
but did you ever consider shopping for shoulder belts?
It saves a bundle on sun visors - plus your rescuers don't have such a
mess to clean up! - Hopefully

I bought a set of Rosen sun visors for my Skyhawk about 6 years ago. I
hit some turbulence that slammed my head against the cockpit ceiling
and my headset smashed the visor. These were about $250 for the set.

Now I want to replace the broken one, and (of course) Sporty's will
ONLY sell the pair for another $250 . . . no way will they sell me just
the one I need.

I can't even find a Rosen site on the web (maybe my Google skills are
deficient).

I have 4 point inertial shoulder harnesses that I had installed 6 years
ago. They were almost $2000. They seem to work to arrest forward
motion sudden stop, but don't stop vertical motion. Seems like an
old-fashioned lap belt would work.
