IIRC Chortle has a source for it, he should be along shortly.
What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

I supply all the rivets and fixing and margin strips included.
The kit has the 2 main parts, an interliner and the padding.

There are folks over here that leave it off, but in all honesty, I wouldn't.
If you do your outer yourself, as there are a few how-to's out there, use a lubrication on the inner rear cable tray, as well as the Cable itself (especially on the corners.)
It helps the rear cable pull the tension correctly.
There are a few types that I use.
1. Liquid Dishwashing soap on Cloth tops as it doesn't stain as well as KY-Jelly…
2. on Vinyl material I use Vaseline as it cleans off readily
but on Cloth tops it will leave a Grease Stain…..
If the Dishwashing soap dries out, a few spritz of water from a spray bottle makes it Slippery again.

Thanks for the tips I guess you've done a few what kind of job are they to do
A piece of cake. Oh, if you have done more than dozen, it isn't that much of a job.

I use a liquid silicone Lube where the cable runs in the body cavity guide to the cable stud brackets.
The padding acts as an insulator helping to kill road noise and temperature to a degree. They also smooth out the appearance of the hood. Old padding can get dips etc from wear spots plus they deteriorate over time. If the headliner needs changing then then that's the time to do it when the frame is stripped down. I'd never recommend fitting a hood without the padding in place.
I can supply everything you need. So send me a PT on here and I can have a chat with you.
Here is when I did my roof.
