Default 67 sun visor replacement question

Guys,
This is another "should be really simple", but need some info from those who have done this. I am putting new reproduction sun visors in my car and they don't have holes inboard on the visor. Seems I am supposed to drill them and place the screws in that help compress the visor to hold it so it moves tightly (the holes in the top in the cover material). Does someone have a measurement of where I should drill the holes? Thanks folks. Here's a p:

I would send them back and get a set from different vendor. The holes should be there.

Do you have a coupe or a convertible? Visors are different. The screws are in the corners...see picture below. And, no, they don't have holes when delivered.

If you buy the ones with the hardware already installed, here is what they would look like.

67's have a different part number than 63 - 66. There was just an NOS 67 coupe black visor on eBay, looked nice. Do a search and see if it's still available.

Leif,
Thanks. Ok, they don't have holes from the vendor. I can make them. Mine is 67 Coupe. They are a little different than what you showed me because they are 67. It seems the holes need to be about a half inch from each top end.
63driver, thanks. Mine is a hot rodded car, far from stock. I don't need a NOS visor, but thank for the suggestion. I have new reproduction and just need to know where to drill the holes so it looks presentable.

Use the chrome piece to determine the distance from the edge to drill your hole / If the visors are vinyl I would melt the hole for the screws as a drill my catch the material twist it to hell and make a nasty mess . The hole should be @ 1/2 way down the chrome shaft . Hope this helps. Jeff
