FOR SALE Bay full cab headliner

I must fit mine one day!

On that note does anyone know the lengths of the two rods in the cab?

I recall one is shorter than the other but I've forgotten by how much

 

Mine are out in the garage at the moment so as long as you don't need to know "right now" I'll measure them up for you.

 

Cool thanks,

and yes no rush it's going to be a springtime job!

 

Just so you see this @sANDYbAY

I'll get the hang of this site one day

 

Ahh, good job you did that 'cos I'd forgotten every word about it.

 

@allibus3

Ok, just been out and had a measure up

They both have little caps on each end and both have slight bends at the ends.

The figures I got were 1.30 and 1.31.

I hope that's some help. The wire gauge is about the same as one of the thicker wire coat hangers.

 

Yep, it does.

I have two rods from VWH but they all come the same length.

Cheers dude

 

Hi Diddymen, have you got any cab headliners left? Cheers

 

Not made, but Mrs Diddymen has got the material for another 2 ....I'll see if she can start them at the weekend

 

@Diddymen when I stick mine on do I use high temp contact adhesive?

 

It wouldnt hurt, but not really necessary IMO ...depends what brands you are using

I use evostick

its good stuff

the only areas that really need glue are the front (but the windscreen seal will also hold that edge in place) and the rear corners.

the sides can be held in place with the gripper strip by tucking in about an inch of excess material and trimming off the rest (I didnt use glue along the sides on mine and its not moved) tucking too little in along the sides wont hold under by the grip strips alone without glue, so best to tuck in as much as you can fit and trim off the rest....the 'cut' can then also be pushed under the grip strip so it wont be seen.

If you dont use glue along the sides it gives you a 'second chance' it you dont get it taught enough, as you can pull it back out, make adjustments, and tuck it back in ......be careful you dont damage the material on any sharp edges on the grip strip

 

Hi Diddymen, is there any chance you could let me know where Mrs D buys the vinyl? I am planning to glue some to the rear roof boards, & it would be nice to get a perfect colour match.

Cheers
P.s, I will be fitting my lovely new front headlining within the next month so expect some piccies of my efforts

 

If you're anywhere local to me I'd quite happily come round and practice fit yours before I do mine.

 

Hi Sandy, thanks for the offer - but I live on the Isle of Man

Cheers

If you could put my name down for one i'd appreciate it. Let me know how to pay, etc.

You're a lucky man - my Mrs can't sew a button on!

 

Hi I will be in the market for one in 5 or 6 months, I have already lined the poptop so if possible could you send me a tiny 5p sized swatch of your fabric to see if it matches? PM me for address etc.

 

Sorry for the delay, I'll let Mrs Diddymen know you need one (she didnt get started on them this weekend )....but I'll let her know there are people waiting

when did you need it for?

PM sent

 

No rush, hoping to paint over the next month or two then start putting her back together around Easter

 

PM sent

Mrs Diddymen has another 2 ready to go ...first dibbs to @74Devon if you are still interested

 

Hi,
You have probably been asked this before, do you do a full headliner??
Cheers
Jon
