Re-doing the roof lining in the Mini (1972) and want to check I have the bows in the correct position. (They are not the original ones from the car and have been in and out a few times).
I have 4 different types and they came out in the following order from front to rear:
1 “flatter” one that was at the front.
Then 3 the same.
Then 1 a little shorter.
And then the shortest at the rear.
Looks OK to me but can anyone confirm if this is correct?

well i havent pulled out my roof lining yet , but my manual says they are fitted from front to rear and are colour coded , 1 red , 2 and 3 green , 4 blue and the 5th one is yellow. hope that helps.

cheers bill

Hi Bill,
I will check the colours,
but
I have 6, not 5.
Could it be 2, 3 & 4 green, then it would line up with my lengths.

i think the colours above are for pre 70's

what about this one it says for mini saloon range from front to rear, 1 red , 234 white , 5 blue , 6 yellow

Edit
These colour codes are from the blue leyland australia manual

Cheers bill

Hi Bill,
Those numbers line up with mine, but not the colours.
From front to rear I had red, yellow, green, yellow, orange, no colour.
But mine may not be a set due to the car history.
The green one looks the same as the yellow ones.
Do any have an orange one?
Which manual do you have?
Dave

These are the ones i have , the colour codes from above are from the top left dark blue one i will look through the others to see if they are different.

I think those colours refer to the English cars.
It will be interesting to see what colour yours are.
But it looks like I need to get a proper set for mine.

Those colours are out of the leyland australia manual , strangely i cant find a mention of the colours in the other 3 , the haynes restoration manual only gives fitting instructions.
