Jaguar XJS
Headlining Biscuit and Cloth- PICKUP PREFERRED from
Dublin, Ireland
This is a used Jaguar XJS (1983 pre-facelift model)
headlining "biscuit" or former, plus a new,
unmarked and unused 2-metre roll of high quality headlining
cloth as supplied by SK Jagtech.
For those of you not familiar with the way the XJS
headlining is made up, it comprises a foam-backed cloth
stuck to a lightweight former or "biscuit". The
original invariably fails when the foam backing material
breaks down due to age. It is not possible to re-glue an
existing headlining cloth, you must take out the
headlining, clean off the old cloth and its foam backing,
and fit a completely new headlining cloth. The job is
relatively easy to do, the headlining comes out through the
passenger door. However it is difficult to remove the old
cloth and foam backing without causing some damage to the
biscuit.
The biscuit is in good condition as they go, but it is NOT
pristine. It is very definitely suitable for recovering
with appropriate care and attention to the detail of
fitting the new cloth, as described on the SK Jagtech
website. If you are familiar with these items, you will
know that they are made from a type of fibreglass, without
any resin, so they are quite fragile. This lining was
carefully removed from the vehicle but it did crease a
little during removal, as shown on the photographs. It has
been reinforced with fibreglass at weak points around the
edges. No bits are missing, and it will be possible to
recover this successfully with care, and with the use of
the correct high temperature trim adhesive.
The 2-metre roll of headlining cloth is shown on one of the
photos, and is exactly as received from SK Jagtech,
unopened. This is a high quality headlining cloth with a
foam-type backing. It is rolled on a cardboard former. This
is the correct quantity to recover the headlining biscuit
and to cover the other bits of roof trim- cantrails and
quarter panels.The headlining cloth is beige in colour. The
details of the headlining cloth and the replacement
procedure can be found on the SK Jagtech website at this
URL:
The roll of headlining cloth cost approximately £70
including VAT and excluding postage. You will need one
can of the recommended high-temperature spray adhesive
to secure the cloth to the "biscuit".
If you need to replace your headlining and your
existing one has been previously recovered, or damaged,
then this is the ideal combination for you.
Due to the size of the item and its fragility, this is
preferably a pickup item only from Dublin. The
headlining is in a cardboard container measuring 1300mm
X 1100mm X 280mm and weighs just a few kilos protected
by bubble wrap. I am prepared to send it by courier
strictly at your own risk, however transport charges
will be high. The estimated cost to a UK address would
be approximately £65- £70, exact cost would be as
charged to me by the courier with no handling charge
and would depend on the delivery addres

The basic kit comprises front and rear bumpers
and two side skirts. I also have a spoiler, available separately. The
photo on the right shows the front bumper simply placed in front of the
car- it doesn't sit quite right because the front air dam is still in
place. |

The body kit is new and unused, never fitted.
There are one or two minor storage chips but nothing of any consequence.
The parts are finished in a beige primer coat, ready for final finishing. |
