    Hey Oz, did you make the little teeth on the rear strip different to the originals so we can keep an Sandman identifying element intact?

    Not really reproduction then..... more like an aftermarket accessory...:knockout:

    I really don't see the point of intentionally reproducing parts incorrect and not exactly as per original.... fair enough you won't see it once the lining is installed but who is going to let you rip down the lining to check if the strip is original or not????

    You could also use a Kingswood van shell to re-body a V8 4sp 8WM and the headlining strips would all be original....

    Good one Greg, they look great and were a needed item......

    dunno about the intention of doing the spacing for the teeth..i just measured them to see if they were or were not the same for fun...
