Visor Mounting and repro floor pans

Hello, my first post. I am doing a partial restore on an FB and the sunvisor mounting holes are about 8mm diametre and had rubber grommets in them. Is there a special mounting kit or have these holes been drilled out for the grommets? Are they normally mounted with self tappers?Also, I have installed a repro front floorpan that I got from a supplier in QLD which wasn't perfect but was pretty good. I bought a pan from a supplier here in Sydney and its a shocker. Can anyone recommend a supplier of good repro rust panels as the QLD supplier does not have the LR that I need. Finally, what originally covered the parcel tray? Hope this is not too much in one hit.

G`day jjt 119 , welcome to the forum , the sunvisors had a captive nut type arrangement - the 8mm hole diameter sounds about right.
Not too sure where you get them from but rare spares should be able to help you out with them and a floorpan.
The parcel shelf you can just make out of thin masonite and cover with vinyl. If you want the original stuff its probably best to take a piece of the old one to a trimmer and see if he can source some for you.
Hope this helps.

The "Coolaride" external sunvisor holes take a plastic/nylon plug with a centre hole for a self tapper to screw and expand into, much the same as a number plate on a HQ front bumper bar (but round). Your local panel shop or panel shop supplier should be able to help you out with these (or something that will do the job)

The NASCO underdash parcel shelf was covered in roof lining material or seat trim (Not sure if you asking about the rear parcel self or underdash)
