Hi

just done the cab headlining using perforated vinyl and the template in the wiki,
Its come out not to bad at all it needs a little streching to take a couple of the creases out but very nearly a factory look.
I'll post some pics when I get a chance.

Cheers

Hi,

the width dosent matter (oooeeerrr) as you will be trimming it to fit, I made mine the width of the material 1.4 m, I used this

it sews up quite nicly

mine is only for the cab you can see where the rods make a nice crease and that I have one or two other creases to sort out, but its not as hard as it seems at first.

Good luck
