hq van hood lining

[GNW1974]

Gypsy how many holes are drilled in the side of the cabin. How many tabs are sewn into the hoodlining you have, that will tell you how many you need. I would have thought vans would be similar to Utes and have two bows.

my hq panel van only has one hood bow

I have just got a new HQ front only hood lining from Rares with the one bow seam but don’t know which bow suits it.
I have 2 here but think they might be from a one toner. My van has 3 locations to fit a bow. Looks like it lines up with the middle set of holes best.
Do the later model vans with the full hood lining have 2 bows in the front ?
Which set of holes do they use ?
Does anyone have the dimensions of the single front one.

Not sure if this will help much but have attached a diagram from the HQ Service Manual re: Panel Van Headlining. Cheers

If your windscreen is already out I would fit the lining first, its just easier to get it sitting good without to many wrinkles. As said previously I also used a dozen cut up pieces of old pinch weld and keep pulling and tucking the lining into place. It's been a while but from memory mine had two bows in the front section (WB) mine had six including the rear. I had a couple of wrinkles when I had finished, just have it a light wave over with the heat gun and come up perfect.

Thanks guys.
Both the diagram and photo show only the one seam or bow in the front.
Guess I’ll just get the front one off Jason and see how I go.
