Visor PlugsAs i'm a little on the tall side, I've removed the sunvisors for a little extra visibilty (actaully does work!) but now neeed something to fill the holesI found this website off of america http://www.knobmeister.com/VisorPlugs.htm but wanted something a little more custom to match my momo gear knobbly and steering wheel. So, does anyone know anywhere is Sheff I could get something like this made up?

I'd be wary of buying owt from a place called knobmeister!!
Maybe someone like: Jackson Woodturning 14-16 Hillfoot Road, SHEFFIELD, S3 8AA or any place that will cut and shape custom designs. Also, let me know what wood you want and I'll ask my best mate who is a wood butcher by trade. |

Cheers! TBH i'm not sure what wood it is - just to match my gear knobbly and steering wheel - its sort of brownish and yellish  its not far off my photochopped efforts though

If that photoshop image is not too far off the real colour I can email it to him to see if he can identify the wood. Better still, you could find out what wood your interior is and then match it up from there. |

its described by momo as "legno"
Italian --> English translation = "wood" 
I've haven't got any photos to hand, and they don't make it anymore but I can post some up soon! hang on! quick google yeilds this:

Ha ha, yeah. When he asks what you want it made from, I'll say "wood"* I'll email him the pic see what he says. What size roughly are the visor plugs? *To which he'll say "funk right off* |

from memory they're about 60 x 40 x 8mm - i'll have to have a measure up! | ||

Right you are mate, do that and let me know. May be important if the wood is particularly expensive |
