Maybe you still have the car maybe not but?
Here are some photos of the hinge itself. It's very simple yet effective. I tried many forms of exotic hinges from all sorts of cars like the Lotus Exige, and other types, but this ht wasn't ever designed with a hinge in mind so none of them would work. The idea for a thin yet flexible hinge came to me one day so I tried it out and it's worked great so far. This is my first prototype. I am making a longer one which will allow for more stability when I get back into town (on vacation at the moment).

Can you tell me if you removed the softop or where you able to intall the hard top on top of the retracted softop. That's my goal, have had my new S2000 and have a Mugen coupe top but grabbed a carbon fiber fast back at half price, since the S2000 market decreases every day. Any other information on the hinge would.be enjoyed also. Going to try to tackle this project this summer, love the tops for the cool weather.
