Will a MkI/II headliner and frame fit in a MkIII+ shell.

I know the MkI and II use two frames and the MkIII+ bows, but without having two roofs in front of me to compare...not sure if it will work.

Any experience trying this?

Thanks

I'm fairly sure I used a MK1 / MK2 headliner on a later shell.
The roof section is still on the scrapheap so I'll check for you tomorrow.

Thanks...I'm hoping it will work

If it won't you can always get Newton to do you a MK3 on headlining in MK1 material.

I think it will work, but You have to remove the part the holds the roof light.
I use a two part headliner from an Innocenti Mini in my later shell.

Thanks for the info so far.
I can make do without the interior light.

I have a MkIV with a really crappy headliner....and I have a MkII rof with nice headliner and a 67 S headliner not being used.
Are they typically installed....rear piece first?
Thanks

Just to confirm, yes, I did have an early headlining in a later car.
As mentioned above you will have to slice off the bracket for the light.
It's a while since I fitted one , but I think it's the rear section in first.

Rear first.

OK...thanks everyone.
Will tackle it when it warms up.

It was -39 here this morning !!!!
