P38A Headlining

cornishboater · Aug 17, 2019

Thought I would give this a post in case someone else needs their headlining done (rather than DIY) popped over to Jason at Blackbrook Auto Trim in Taunton. What a cracking chap and a perfect job done. £230 and done in 1 hour complete with a cuppa.
I would highly recommend him if you are looking!

Shame he's not closer

Took me an hour and fifty minutes to get there but was well worth it. How far are you then?

+ 1, long haul from Essex & a bit pricy on fuel

cornishboater · Aug 17, 2019

Luckily I am on LPG so only £20 there and back. Essex would be a stretch though to be sure. Have a couple of days holiday in Zomerzet, a few ciders and a retrim on the way

OK, you tow me and we split the fuel cost? ;-)

Bugger the LPG I'll settle for the Ziders. Bring them on

Just think how much less it would have been with a diesel.

But carbon friendly (ish)

I am considering pulling mine out, removing the lining and putting the board back in, painted or something? For £200+ I may as well go utilitarian for now

Get the £70 kit from Martrim and spend a lazy afternoon doing it properly. Very satisfying when all back together. Or find the bits separately like Dopey and you can do it for £40.

It’s finding the right adhesive is the problem, tried a few but it only lasts couple months. I think rip it out so I can get all the sponge off properly then go from there, £40-£70 is more appropriate il look into that

Getting all the old sponge off is key. Vacuum. Back and forth over the board until it is all off. That's the part that takes the time.

Getting it out In one piece will be the problem. Even if it’s just cleaned and put back it will be an improvement

Diesel & RRC don't appear in the same sentence in my book

Follow Dopey's How To. I was going to say it is reasonably strong for its thickness but then I remembered who I am talking to. My neighbour gave me a hand which helped. It does flex slightly.

Retrimmed mine using doopeys guide. Quite easy to do. The hardest part is taking it out.
