Headlining - 2 Piece - Mini Mk1 - to 67

Mini saloons of this period had a two piece headlining frame with the canopy glued and stapled to them. Early cars had light grey material, but after 1962 all cars had the special Cream Crackle material. Included in the kit is a pair of "C" post panels and a piece of material to go under the rear window.These frames are no longer available, so make sure you keep them safe if not in the car during restoration.

Other colours available (but not standard) are Black & White.

INSTRUCTIONS

Basically the sewn headlining is fixed to the frames by loops which are held with office type staples and the outer edges are turned over the frames and glued in place. Obviously, these frames are fairly flexible, so when fitting the headlining, we would suggest that you carry out the work in a warm environment so the material is not to hard to stretch. Another tip is to use a hair dryer to soften the material slightly if any stubborn creases are found particulary near the corners.
