Where can I get ply lining patterns? - Hugo {P}
I am keen to ply line my Nissan Primastar van. It's the same body as the Vauxhall Vivaro and the new Renault Trafic.

With kits so expensive, when compared to the cost of the materials used, I'm keen to lay my hands on some patterns that I can just staple to the sheet material and then cut around with a jigsaw.

Is there anywhere I can get these from?

Thanks

A friend of mine who is a carpet fitter and I used to equip vans at the weekend to supplement our meagre incomes. He would do the lining, and I would do the towbar fitting, lighting and electrics. As we were working in a very small way, we didn't use any official patterns.

We used cheap lino from which to make our templates. Its easy to cut holes in it to enable you to clamp it to the stiffeners at reasonably regular intervals before you cut round tricky bits like the wheel arches.
