Hi all.
Does anyone know where I can obtain a ready made hood lining for an RS2000 2 door. I've just acquired a car without a hoodlining and I don't have a template to have one made up.

I'd be grateful for any assistance.

I can get the UK ones in black or moonstone. Probably dearer than local but good quality and the material is correct. I found the local one I got for my mark 1 didn't fit properly and still annoys me to this day. Got it from one of the 2 Melbourne places, of which this crowd was supposed to be the better of the two

I recently bought one from the guy that sells them on Ebay. Quality is good and the price is very reasonable

may seem like a stupid question but......... are we talking about a roof liner? or a underbonnet mat? (hood lining?)

The interior roof lining.

thought so. I bought one from e bay ages ago and the bloody thing was 2 inches to short. When I told them it was not right, of course the seller didn't want a bar of that. In the end I just bit the bullet and had a trimmers custom make one from the start.fits a treat and was actually cheaper then the ebay one (including fitting) so it pays to do your homework.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'd get one made locally only the car I've acquired didn't have the roof/hood lining in it to use as a template.

I am also looking at getting a new black hood lining made for our Mk2. I have spoken to Supertrim in Coburg Melbourne and they have quoted me $176 to supply. Reading thru this subject, to be sure it is correct, I am better off taking the old one out and giving it to them as a template. If you are interested I could get 2 made and then ship you one. Not sure if the vinyl material they are using is original though. You would have to check this out yourself. If it is not 100% it doesn't bother me as the car is just a daily driver
cheers

Hi Ted

Thanks for the offer. I can get something close to the original "moonstone" material. Can you give me the name of the motor trimmer and I'll see if they know the material. If so, I'd be happy to get one made at the same time, using your old one as a template. I'm assuming of course that your Mk2 is a 2 door model. There are differences in the roof lining between the 2 and 4 door models.

East Kent Motor trimmers in the UK list a moonstone headlining for the Escorts. I needed a new black one for my RS3100 and discovered to my horror that black and white crater material is no longer made. I had to get a charcoal one made then have it painted and installed cost was $300
