Falken_KE30 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Having trouble finding roof lining for a KE30 2 door, and I'm unsure about if the sedan one from a 30, or 55 would fit. how would i go about making my own?, Any help, links, pics ect would be great :bash: Quote
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 It cost me $100 to get one made for my ke25, thats with me fitting it, all you need is the metal bars that go through it, and the old hood lining. Quote
styler Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 yeah take it in, they make a copy for about $150 and reinstall done. Quote
greenmac80 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Has anyone enquired about getting a solid roof lining made up? Quote
WinKE55 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Solid roof lining? You mean without the bars? You would probably see all the metal frames through the roof lining?? Quote
greenmac80 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Nah i mean a solid lining eg mdf or something similar. seen it done before but not how exactly. so you can mount things to the roof. Commodores etc. have a solid lining! I'm highly considering wiring in some down lights intead of have that single interior light! Quote
Falken_KE30 Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Posted June 3, 2008 how do they mount in a ke30 2 door? i has some sorta lining, it was held on with metal clips above side windows, front tucked under windscreen rubber, and the rear had a strip of metal that tucked under rubber, and got screwed in...

greenmac80 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 I've seen it done in a mustang it is a full custom job! i reckon it wouldn't be too hard to make the correct shape. and also to hold it up. but the hard bit would be flush mounting it into the front and rear windscreens Quote
greenmac80 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 just did a search. i was led to believe that you needed a hard lining to mount things to your roof. but an easy DIY way is to remove your original lining and screw lengths of wood to the roog bracings and from there mount whatever you want! much easier! custom downlight install here we come!!

greenmac80 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) Is yours moulded or the later bar'd one?? car is 1980 so i think its bar'd its vinyl? Oh sorry falken for highjacking your thread. Edited June 3, 2008 by blackrolla80 Quote
JiP Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 I figured yours would be, but the two door sedan?? Quote
Tally Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 RA28 celicas have solid roof lining. Would you go to a trim shop to get a roof lining copied/re-made? Quote
Falken_KE30 Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Posted June 3, 2008 mine looks to be moulded. I don't have metal bars or whatever you guys on about, only bar i see is on the roof, bolted on either side, and the interior light bolts to that. Quote
JiP Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 My KE50 jas moulded lining. You'll most likely end up cutting yourself trying to get it out. It was wire inside it Quote
