I'm in the process of refurbing the roof lining in the wheel house of my Pilot 20. I've scoured the pages of the message board, but I'm no further forward. I cannot for the life of me find any fabric which gets remotely close to the stuff Hardy used originally, unless anyone else has any other ideas! One option I'm considering is to move away from a fabric lining and going over to leatherette. Has anyone else adopted this idea? I was thinking in terms of possibly either a cream or white smooth leatherette. I think the stimulus for this was looking at a Cockwells Duchy 27 which has some similarities to the Hardy Pilot (a spiritual successor???) and they have a vinyl roof lining which looks pretty good. Thoughts please... and any photos if anyone has actually replaced the fabric lining with vinyl/leatherette.
