Headliner - MAMs and Others
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:52 am
I am thinking about headliners and the MAM headliner looks pretty good
in pictures. However, I am curious as to how much weight it adds to the
Rebel.
Also I am curious about other approaches like Johnson's below. I have
looked for pictures but do not find any. Could the Johnson's repost
pictures of their interior and any other people who have 'good' interiors
post to the website.
In 2003 Robert and Olga Johnson wrote the following in regard to a "home
build headliner
"Steve; There are many ways to go with a headliner- This is "homebuilding".
I have a rebel and I wanted something simple, easy to remove and functional.
The method I used was to rivet on 1" wide capstrips on all the roof chanels.
Cut 2" fire retardent flexible foam to fit into each area, Glue on fabric of
your choice, and insert. I have been very happy with this as it provides
three advantages. 1/ Easy to remove if you need to work or inspect a
particular area. 2/ Great insulation quality for both noise reduction and
keeping the heat out in the summer, and in when it gets cold. 3/ Looks good,
very inexpensive to do and very light weight. I originally was concerned
about possible absorbing moisture when the aluminum "sweats" with
temperature changes, but after two years no sign of this at all. If you
would like any additional information or pictures just let me know and I
will send direct to your home .-Bob Johnson Rebel "652" Flying, and having a
ball."
Another email indicates that pictures were posted, but there are none. If
those with alternative headliner approaches would post pictures, it would
be much appreciated.
