Gents,
I have finally managed to get a new headlining and frame for my 61. Please could you tell me what else I need to fit it? Does it have any special fixing clips? Do i need the light on a car this age or was that a later addition?
Thanks,
Lewis

Is the headlining on the frame? If so it pops in rear first. Its fairly obvious, it just sits on the cant rail of the roof.
If its not, I think I have a set of the newton instructions about I'll scan for you.

Nick, no need to scan that, as it´s also available on their website:

You just need to click the yellow "Fitting Instructions"-Button and it should download directly...
Cheers, Mike

Hi,
Thankfully it is complete on the Frame from Newton

I will have a go at fitting it in. Could someone tell me if I should have the interior light or not? I can't see any wiring for it...
thanks,
Lewis

Hi,
I arranged a deal with Newton to have frame recommisioned etc before having the lining fitted so it is ready to fit. But I dont know wether I need to wire and fit a light or not
Thanks

I have a 1962 deluxe and that has no interior light, just dash shelf lights and rear bin lights,

Either way it's only a ten min job to get it in and out.
