HI Jeff,

Have just completed my re-fit which included the cabin interior ceiling. one
of the problems in the ceiling for us was the electrical wiring for lights.
We bought our ceiling material and had it mounted in sections on a plywood
base. the base was then attached with velcro to the roof. It can now be
easily removed when we need to get behind it (well not so easily - you need
a great pull to get it unattached from the velcro!). will have pictures
available soon....
