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?

Would an alloy body actually take a hartop? and i guess maybe some under alloy panel support maybe needed?

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. |

I think Paul Samson brought in one of those hard tops and was adapting it to his Harrison. It's made in the UK to suit a DAX body. He sold it a while back. The rear window does open like a hatch back car to let you open the boot.
There are some better pics of it here http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/aust...dtop-sale.html

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.... http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/era-...ra-2124-a.html
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 |

Some nice pics showing a painted and a polished alloy hardtop. You can also see the reverse boot hinge in the last pic.

Yeah, it's the 289, but it's a nice way to visualise how it would look. |

That hardtop is a DB hardtop. Paul imported 2 of these with the aim of making copies and making them available to other cobra owners. In the end there wasn't enough interest and I bought one of the two of him. It's been a long time gathering dust but I have finally finished adapting it and I am currently waiting for it to get painted by my brother in law ( family ughhh ).. I will post some pics soon.
