Hi all,
I am looking at sourcing an original headlining for my 72 Toledo. I believe the original material is still on the B pillars.
I think this is called Longhorn, would that be correct?
Does anyone know where I could source a replacement headlining of this pattern in white?
I have tried Aldridges, however they say they only supply this pattern in green.

Re: Toledo interior headlining
Yes it is called "Longhorn".
I sourced some at the end of 2019 when I remade my Britax Weathershield Webasto style sunroof. I got some from this company:
https://newtoncomm.co.uk/
They were reluctant to sell me some as they said they usually sell only complete headlinings but when I explained what I wanted it for the agreed to sell me some off the roll. 1.5m wide. It was £46.36 per metre inc VAT plus shipping.
email address : salesemail@newtoncomm.co.uk
The material was a very good match to the original in both colour (allowing for ageing) and in terms of pattern match.
Hope that helps
Roger

Re: Toledo interior headlining
Thanks Roger, a good lead.
Just checking, a Dolomite headlining will be the same size as Toledo?
Cheers

Re: Toledo interior headlining
A 4 door Toledo is the same headliner as a Dolomite. The 2 door has a slight difference as the the B post cover is attached to the headliner and in a slightly different place as the doors are longer. The 2 door also has thinner rear pillars. It's nothing you can't get round with a bit of enginuity though. The overall size and shape is the same.

Re: Toledo interior headlining
A strange response because the headlining Aldridge supplied to me a few years ago is a perfect match for the original.

Re: Toledo interior headlining
Yes now I've investigated further it does seem odd. I am of the understanding the longhorn is both the pattern and colour (off-white) -correct me if I'm wrong and it comes in other colours. Luckily the people at Newton are being very helpful.2door-toledo wrote: ↑Tue Jul 26, 2022 10:56 pmA strange response because the headlining Aldridge supplied to me a few years ago is a perfect match for the original.
