Interior Roof Linings

[Bas / NZ]

Garry, do you recal the price on the ply (Bendy) at all.......... Cheers

OK I've got an idea for you but it's messy, get a can of that spray expanding foam and spray it in small sections to the underside of the roof, when all done and dry shape to desired style then get some cheese cloth material and stick it to the underside of the roof you might have to do it in small sections so it doesn't fall down now mix up some resin and do the same thing with that, once it has dried carefully prize down the resin/cheesecloth liner the side that touched the roof scrape off the foam that is stuck to it then put on a couple of layers of fibreglass and resin to strenghen it once set you now have your roof lining, the inside can be covered with what ever you want then you can glue it to the inside of your van but remember to remove that dry spray foam first thats stuck to the inside of the van

Hey Bas,

Not sure what the cost was but was similar to a sheet of standard ply. Bought mine about 10 years ago. Give them a call and they'll sort you out.

basically what i described but it would be a nightmare trying to work upside down, better getting a full roof cut and turning it upside down then weld some legs on it like a table, gravity is your friend,
then check out the utube clip earlier in this thread on page 1.,

what about if we used a rotisserie and turned a van upside down? any reason why you couldn't do that? could save cutting a roof off a van.

Looks good, but don't think the sound  / noise reduction would be the great
