 Headliner Replacements

Is anyone interested in purchasing a replacement headliner for their DAF ?

I am currently working on finding a local shop to fabricate this part and would like to know how many people are interested.

Were you able to salvage anything from the original headliner Vince?

I know I have a good (but very worn & slightly ripped) original I will be using as a pattern for my Daffodil 30 but your 32 roofline is slightly different so I'll need something to go by.
I'll be contacting a local shop here to fabricate new ones without having to try something in Holland (way too expensive that way).

Unfortunately no I do not...the headliner was in great shape, but it was a matter of getting it off the glued spots, and me not really thinking about it and ripping it off :( that was the problem. And I have a 31 not a 32. Maybe somehow they could use the 31 itself or take pictures. As far as I know the 31 has a squarer roof line, right?

I mean maybe I could later on down the road get a shop to make up a pattern for the 31 too if it's too much/different then yours and its not possible or something.

I had destroyed a few parts myself before realizing how hard it would be to replace them later on. ::) ::)
Without an actual sample 31/32/33 headliner (which are all the same) it would be difficult to make one from photos without having the car there.
I guess we'll have to cross that bridge when we get there.

I have a really good pattern now to duplicate locally.....see my posting in "AUTOBEDRIJF-de BRUIN" for details.

I'll see what I can do when the time comes, but I might purchase the headliner you suggested to me and have it duplicated locally and use it as a template and have them remanufacture it for anyone who needs it...

Sound like a good idea for the club?

Great idea Vince!
At least then we will have two styles in house to have copied which will cover a lot of models from the 600 to the 33.
