I have 3 full width wire bows at the back and 1 stub on each side that ends at the back window. The 4 wood bows have wire stubs at each end. There is no wire bow at the front. I don't remember how the front edge of the headliner attaches but it is covered by the piece that mounts the sun visors, also headliner material. I would call that 8 bows total, counting the stubs at the back window. I will have a care giver for my wife tomorrow so can go to the shop and see what I can figure out. Meanwhile, where did you find a headliner? Small Ford Spares in England used to offer them but all they have now is the fabric. I don't have one. I do have the fabric to make it but no patterns so will take a lot of trial and error.

Well, I studied it long and hard this morning and can't remember or understand how it attaches at the front. There are tack strips down both A posts but I can't see anything above the windscreen So the last supported point seem to be the front wood bow. Right now I am stumped.
 
Hello, been awhile, dealing with the medical. I started to put the headliner in, I do not have the stub bow at the rear window anywho turns out I am going to have to seperate all the headliner panels and re-sew, as all the panels are about 3/4" to long. Another job that was a real bitch was putting in the new fuel pump, had to remove the exhaust pipe just to see the darn thing, then remove the studs and install longer studs, as there is a spacer but got it all together.
