Type 25 Cab Head Lining

This shows the head lining all made up and with the support bars in place. note the contact glue along the front edge.... this was put on just before fitting as this can be a messy job in the cab area.



This show a view from the rear looking forward. Note the sound proffer foam put in place.... this helps reduce noise and insulates at the same time.


This shows the lining being tensioned all around. the secrete to this is not to over tighten the cloth when fitting and Patience, if you try to fit all in one go it will not work small adjustment are the best.



The rear lining finished in the grove on the van. tension is then pulled forward to the front corners then work from the middle out, this is getting there slowly.



Almost there, you can see the front now finished all the surplus lining was trimmed of then tucked under the front screen rubber.



All done....... ready for the sun visors to be fitted along with the rear view mirror time taken to fit this was about 3hrs but if you are fitting one yourself time is yours so slowly dose it as one wrong cut and ... start all over again. I hoped you liked this short blog keep looking as more to come.
thanks Colin,
