Side sun visor dimensions.

I'm hoping someone here can help me out.

I need to know the distance between the screws that hold the SIDE visor in place. I'm hoping I can take out the "Oh $#!+" handle and replace it with a side visor from a mini.

I used to own a 2011 Cooper S (hatchback). I had it for 6 yrs & 101k miles, but, alas, when our daughter arrived, I had to part with it.
While I had a few issues with the mini, what I miss most is having the front sun visor AND a side visor. Driving on twisty roads on my way to work I have to constantly move the visor from front to side to front to side.....

I really don't want to go to a used car lot and try to measure one there. It would feel weird to have some used car salesman hover over me while I use a ruler to measure that and then say..."hmmm, I changed my mind."

Thanks in advance.
J

Are you looking for the dimensions for a 2nd Gen or a 3rd Gen car?

Sounds like the OP is planning on putting the visor on a non MINI, so the dimensions of all generations would be helpful. On my 2010 R56 the holes are 6 5/8" apart.

YES!!! ALL generations would be helpful. I HAD a 2011 cooper S (R56).
In my current (2017 crosstrek) the holes are 7.1 inches (center to center).
