Van headlining - is it me....which way round

Post by Kt1966 »

I'm trying to refit the headlining/frame to the van which I took off a while back. Looking at it, if I didn't know if it had come off the same van then I'd say there's no way it'll fit...

I may be being a bit dim here, but wanted to check that the curved edge goes to the front ??? ( I know there's a couple of self tappers which hold it on, but the tabs for these are on the straight edge which seems a bit odd)

Nothing's ever straightforward.....

Thanks

If it's the same as my pick up, the curved edge does go to the front and there a self tapper either side at the rear.

Got it, thanks and the front just sits in the groove/runner....

Cheers - guess what I'm doing this weekend !

Thats pretty much the case.

That was also my plan this weekend, until I discovered that the nice headlining I'd been carefully storing for years wasn't the one off the pick up :shock:

Guess what....... the one out of the pick up, once found, was no 'B' good, so I need to get a new lining kit from Newton :(

Plenty of other things to reassemble :)

Got got mine from a bloke called Iain, and it's excellent quality - I think he's on ebay, but also classiccore@hotmail.com
