I'd appreciate being copied on any responses to this. The head liner in
my Cobra's hardtop needs replacing too.
Another question I have is how to match the original material.
Obviously there weren't too many Cobra hardtops made (far fewer than the
650 or so Mark I & II cars built) so it's not something I'm likely to be
able to order directly. However, I've seen similar original hardtops on
other Brit car from the early to mid '60 and I suspect they came from
the same supplier. My guess is that some of them had the same headliner
material. Does VB (or other Brit car upholstery sellers) have headliner
colors and patterns listed in their catalogs?
