You won't get original old stock items but I am pretty sure that Robsport & S&S also have the remanufactured items in all colours.

Perhaps if you searched these threads you may find my article on sunvisor restoration. It may be of interest, given blue was not the more common color.

Don't know if you're interested but I restored mine because of cost new. I cleaned them initially & the inside went "mushy" so I dried them out whilst flattened under weight til they hardened again, then used acrylic fabric paint (from Hobbycraft) in a similar colour, mixed with some artists "shimmer" (but you could paint 'em whatever shade blue. It doesn't look like paint when it's on. I just worked it into the fabric with a sponge and it sort of dyes the fabric. It's worth a try if you're on a budget.I'm really happy with mine. Deb x
