Early HZ Van Headlining Type

[Valencia]

Talk about confusing

[Kris282]

Based on the examples so far, it looks like ribbed style changed to the sandpaper style when the HZ series commenced production.

[HK1837]

So Byron, you are thinking ribbed until the change to commodore style vinyl in late 78 and then sandpaper from then on?

No, I meant all HZ are the same materials until late in 1978. So there is no change in within HZ until then, they are all the sandy looking material which I believe changed from the earlier stuff at or just before HZ production started.

OK. I have an 18v trim code, so I will order a black sandpaper style headlining and sunvisors then.

Thanks to everyone for their help.

My 18v has a tan color headlineing, not black

[Kris282]

Great. I thought colour was he easy part with a 18v trim code.

Is there anyway to tell what colour it would have had originally?

[HK1837]

Remnants of the original headlining. 18V can have black or buckskin headlining and visors. Depends on how it was ordered.

So that would be correct for my 11/77 HZ Sandman which is 18v. It has slate seats and door cards and has a hoodlining and visors which appears to be a beige/buckskin colour.

[Kris282]

Thanks byron. I ordered a set of holden HZ parts books for future reference. Hopefully at least 90% of what is in the book will be correct!

I will stick with the black headlining for my 18v van.

It has neytral headlining, very common as black was too hot.
