Merv the finish on that black Cobra is superb. I like the stepped moulding around the edges of the hard top. Do you think it's for strength or just cosmetic? Eg, above the side windows.

Yes Les those hatch fasteners look the part! Not sure Sambo if the moulding stiffens the edges or not but it does add something to the hardtop in appearance. I think that hardtop looks great.

Default hartop

Hi Merv
Look in my gallery and you will see plenty of pics of my DRB hardtop. Because I ordered it with my kit the good people at DRB fitted it for me. I believe that the front section that fits to the windscreen was orininally a seperate section which is fixed into position after test fitting it to the screen.

Nice one. I wish we could get those Le Mans-type tops in Australia. With all the rain up here they could be handy.

Cameron has sold his Superformance but if you look on his profile there should be some photos of the hardtop.

Thanks Q - few there I hadn't seen before. This project is on hold now as I got a soft top and the hardtop mould for my Cobra body type is undergoing some minor repairs. We are still going to do some however.
