Sun visor mounting brackets

Both of my visors sag badly. The mounting/pivot brackets need replacing or repaired. Any help in fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Brighter Brake Lights?

I installed an LED Third brake light and that solves my problem. I also put adhesive backed Chrome sheeting in the cavities behind the lenses which helped as well. No longer worried about getting rear ended due to dim brakes lights.
Thanks for the input!

I took the car up the face of Lookout Mountain (If you have been to Colorado, you will know this route) and it ran perfectly! I did not run the electric fuel ...
