Front top wishbones and ball joint

[Sam1]

Hi all

A couple of quick questions:

- are the front top wishbones and ball joints triumph spitfire/GT6?
- best supplier for the headlining material?

Had a quick trawl though the archive but couldn't find the answers = I'm new on here

Thanks

Top ball joint, yes Triumph.
Arms/wishbones, no, Lotus specific.
Headlining, eBay etc. The original seems to have been brushed nylon with foam and nylon scrim backing, most that I've found is now just foam backed which seems fine.

When the factory did my headlining a few years ago, they bought the material from Woolies.

(I recognised the colour names and swatches they offered me)

I had my headlining material from Lotusbits, it was a little bit thicker than the swatches I had from Woolies. and therefore slightly more forgiving of any imperfections underneath. It was scrim backed so was quite robust and easy to work with too.

Be sure to use the proper high temperature glue or it will all come off on a hot day! Alpha AF178 Contact Adhesive in a tin, and Trim-Fix Hi-Temp Aerosol glue (these were bought from Woolies).
