Title: Hood liner Post by: RAY @ LAIDLEY on May 30, 2017, 03:37:43 PM Has anybody fitted one of these .?..I got one thru Rare Spares, not really happy with it but am going to try to fit it anyway. So, is there a right way to go about this? Appreciate any tips or help. Oh yes, its going into FC ute restoration.

Like you I am always willing to give most things a go and I tried fitting a brand new one a few years back now. Wow, I thought I had it all under control, heat gun and clamps etc, but I could not get it right. Eventually got a trimmer to do it and he certainly didn't make it look easy. A lot, I mean a lot, of heat has to be applied in the right spots followed by tugging and clamping, before the alligator teeth are clamped shut. I think you should give it a go for your own curiosity, but don't be surprised if you end up calling a trimmer Ken Title: Re: Hood liner Post by: Sheriff on June 07, 2017, 09:07:25 AM Gday Ray... Rob at Trimtastic in Toowoomba made and fitted mine. He is not expensive and may be worth a shot. I think his work is very good and he is a good bloke. cheers Mike.
