Just a few pictures of my new headlining and cant rails
![Head2|500x375]
I’m just about to tackle this on my '68 S-Type.
Tell me how you did it.
More importantly, what mistakes did you make?
That looks great! I have to do my cantrails this winter. Paul

Thanks for the compliment.

Looks fantastic. Is that Nimbus Grey?

Ron,
I didn’t use the original type headlining material but woolcloth from BAS International and they simply list the colour as grey.

I just redid the headlining in my S-Type, also using woolcloth, from (I think) Woolies Trim. I purchased the cloth more than a decade ago, and only now got around to it.
When I opened the double plastic bag it was stored in I found the wool was creased a bit where it was folded, and also that the two surfaces which were in contact with the bag were a bit shinier than the rest of the cloth.
The creases came out with ironing (mid wool setting, with steam, and a cotton cloth between iron and wool), and the shiny patches needed just the slightest brush with a shoe shine brush (I bought a new one, and washed it before use). Once all the trim bits were covered I waited 48 hours for the contact cement to cure/lose any solvent, then I sprayed everything with a Scotchgard spray. I waited another 48 hours after the Scotchgard before installing.
So are you pleased with the results?
