Generally all Holden's are the same when it comes
to headlining installs, only after the vl did it change to one section
headlinings, they did not have rods/wires to install the headlinings.
We will go thru a very basic install of a headlining on
a torana hatchback, all Holden's before 87 had rods/wires and where installed
virtually all in the same way in that they used rods/wires. To install a
headlining you will need the rods/wires, they are also generally different sizes
from front to back.
It it a good idea to number or change one rod at a time
to ensure that each rod/wire is placed in the correct calico rod holder.
Holes for rods

Above show the holes in the turret/roof where the rods
go thru, from one side of the roof to the other to hold the headlining.
Metal tabs
Metal tabs where the wires get clipped onto the brace all the way
along, these are generally around the centre interior lights in all Holden's ,
where this brace is there are no holes on each end as the support that goes thru
the headlining calico is a wire and not a metal rod.
Metal Rods
These are the Rods that slip thru the calico which is sewn onto
the headlining when the headlining is being made, these rods have a bend at then
end so it makes it almost impossible for it to fall out or move around once
installed in the roof.
