8) Nice job :!:

I didn't know they were supposed to be white without stains... :lol: :wink:

What did you do about the petrol tank breather pipes - left them alone, renewed or modified them ?

No kidding, mine looks absolutely dreadful in comparison. Another one for the punchlist!

Looks superb...but be carefull. My BDA Plus 2 has the wrong headlining fitted and needs a new one, and chassis 32 is coming on and will need a headlining put in...and you're not too far away from me!!

Breather pipes was modified by bringing the two pipes to centre of tank and then following same method what spyder use runing one smaller bore vent to the outside and the runing a vent back to the filler neck .

How did you fit the vent hose to the roof, within the headliner (assuming you ran it this way).

Thanks

On mine, the portions above the seat, which carry the clothes hanger, were black--not original?, supposed to be headliner color? I t is same pattern as roof but black. And where did you get those pieces? I have new headliner but not separate "shoulder" pices to go with it. Thanks Gordon Sauer

Those areas were black on the 130 if you had oatmeal trim, together with the underside of the sun visor. I'm pretty sure that they were white if you had the black trim option.
