I've recently got hold of a 78 Clubman largely in parts after after sifting through the couple of huge boxes of parts, I've realised that the headlining is not there and nor are the bows. I contacted the previous owner and he told me that he never had a headlining in the couple of years he had it. The C-pillars do not have any vinyl lining either but I have no idea whether this pillar has any bows or something to help fit the lining.

Is it possible to get hold of these at all? Or are are they like Hens teeth? I hunted around and could only really find "kits" which include the vinyl but you need the bows etc to start with.

Would it be easier to get an auto trimmer to make the bows up? Or too pricey? Otherwise if anyone has some for sale, I'll take them!

Is this what you're looking for?
...dunno if they would suit Aussie Clubbies:

I'd imagine you can get these parts here in Oz a bit cheaper than that but these were fresh in my mind today as I was browsing the Newton site whilst bored at work!

There are 6 bows each are colour coded 1=red 2 & 3 yellow
4=green 5=orange 6 =brown, Mini king have a second hand set

I have a mate whose found an old scrapper Clubman which will give me a few other parts I'm after, so won't need to source any.

Thanks to all posts though.
