Hi all, does anyone have a part number and or source for a new headlining for a +2? Mine is OK ish but if not a fortune would probably replace it while in bits.
Cheers, Rob

Hi Rob Re Headlining.

Early +2 have 4 hoops and later ones have 5 hoops, so check what yours has.

I got my ?Lodestar patterned? Headlining from Paul Matty, back in 2012 and it was a 4 hoop one.

Also SJ Sports cars sell them, Off white perforated material, both types cost ?85 + vat and delivery.

I was very satisfied with the quality from Paul Matty but it was a lot more expensive than SJ Sports car. I cannot comment on SJ?s quality, but I have had many other parts from them and they have been ok.

Thanks for that, mine is a S130 so I guess will be the 5 bar type. I will have a look and get one sorted.
Thanks again, Rob

I got one last year, I think from Kelvedon but don't quote me on that. Had been talking to Sue Miller a while before about buying one but was told that she didn't have enough demand to have any made, although the one I did eventually get was made to order.

I'd never installed a headlining before but found the job to be quite easy and it looks great.

Lodestar early ones, Moonstone later, Woolies perhaps altho only had it in putty color and more off white is correct? RD had them at one point, Gordon Sauer
