No clue on the new liner but Sweet helmet.  Loved the McGrath replicas back in the day.

it definetly needs some work, it is scratched and faded super bad and the front mouth piece has fallen out. but tomorrow it is going to get some help. i still need to find a jersey and some pants that kind of match and are pretty cheap

You might want to ask Arlan. I know he rocks the retro gear from time to time. Hopefully you will post some pics of the retro setup.

Just finished polishing it. The pictures dont do justice to just how good this looks. And no upholstery place is open today so tomorrow I will see if anyone can do anything with the foam
