Series 3 Truck cab headlining
By: Dieselspanner Date: April 3, 2018, 5:14 am

Hi All
So now the 200 TDI is running nicely it's time to tidy up the
inside.
Has anyone any (useful!) suggestions for the truck cab
headlining and some sound deadening stuff for the floor,
transmition tunnel and doors etc.?
I'm not looking for CSW standard, more like something to take
the edge off that's easy enough to throw out and pressure wash
off once in a while.
Cheers Stef

Conveyor belting for the sound deadening but it takes some
cutting or get the Wright off road stuff its expensive but worth
every penny. For the roof you could use the corded carpet that
is used in marquees, thin and light and sticks up very well.

Have thought about this on a few trucks and have recently
discovered the carpet style material that they line out VW vans
with when modding those, the carpet they use is stretchy so will
mould to most surfaces and is light enough. Not too sure of name
but if you youtube ‘carpet lining a vw t5’ there’s plenty of
videos to have a look and get some ideas

Hi Guys,
Thanks for that, the T5 carpeting clip was most informative,
I'll get some, along with the glue sent out. Looks pretty easy
so I'm bound to end up stuck to most of it. A couple of door
cards shouldn't be beyond me
Conveyor belting looks good, there's a quarry down the mountain
where I've bought quite a bit of ballast, next time I'm there
I'll have an ask.
The Wright Stuff kit is going to be far too dear for me, nice
tho it would be, the odds on it going more than a couple of
hours drive from here are slim, I'll just wear ear plugs if it
comes to that!
Cheers Stef

I've just done the truck cab headlining out with the stuff
recommended by Stuey, cheers mate!
It works really well and took around 45 minuets, better still it
looks like a real one, honest.
No idea as to it's sound deadening qualities as yet, but for 40
quid I got enough to do the headlining, a couple of door cards
and the seat box, along with the spray on glue. There might even
be enough left for the transmition tunnel.
Cheers Stef
