Anyone know where to get these?
All i can find in Aus and any importer parts catalogue are the full trim sets.

no-one? i know they were a factory original item ad its documented, simply cant find a current supplier.

Forgive my ignorance. What year/years we talking here? I can't make out whats on the B pillar and around the window. Could you use the normal roof lining piece only from a kit or is it different in some way?

no it is different, dunno about other suppliers, but all the current roof liners i have seen are single piece. this one is like an original liner only it has just the roof section, no pillars or top side trailing arms, as well as no lining around the rear window.
The car i remember it from was a late 62 standard, was kinda like a mixed part bug with the old reserve gas tank lever as well as no chrome trimming on the sides.

BFY Obsolete parts do a multi piece liner. Email Darren at BFY for further info. You'll need to buy the full liner, but I'll buy what you don't use if that helps.
Cheers
