Thought i would continue my hard investigation in my own thread. This is the type of hard top im thinking....love the way it goes almost to the back of the car. I think the car is a Dax. Someone explain how the boot works?

Looks to me like the window section pivots as I can see a rear latch on the window to boot join, plus I can see a join line in the window to main roof section also. makes sense, pivot the window out of the way then lift the boot. I like that style too, looks better than the squarer roof lid's I have seen IMHO.

Dave - have you seen Allen Bishop's thread from several years ago on improvements he made to his 289FIA Cobra replica, ERA 2124, including mods to his boot/trunk?
Here it is.... Ownership Log – ERA#2124
One of the first things he did was to add a hardtop. He went through all of the mods that he needed to do to end up with a great hardtop conversion. The rest of his 'improvement' thread makes fascinating reading as well.

Cheers,
Glen
