You can have my set. My S2K is off the road as youve probably seen in my build thread. Let me know if interested. I have an OEM hardtop and fitting kit. I have no idea exactly what your talking about either though.
If you need any CNC laser cut bits for your project PM me.I will try to help you

i did, but i'd need some generous soul to lend me a pair to copy and ideally the same generous person to try the prototypes i make.
From the pictures i've seen, they're complicated brackets so i'd not be willing to even try unless i could get my hands on a pair.

Have just bought an OEM hardtop myself, thankfully haven't been spotted as its Imola Orange on a Silverstone (planning to wrap it carbon-fibre)
- bought home with a variant on the bungee method - ratchets, with the stand in the boot, worked a treat. Now looking at fitting kits and have stumbled across the firm below. They are a bolt on solution that removes the rear spikes. But at 20% the cost of the OEM, I am tempted in a set - has anyone any experience with them???

has there been any joy or progress made on these,
im amazed at the amount of people capable on here with a cnc package and a milling machine that these havent already been made, the car has been out for 11 years and no-body done any yet?
if i could get hold of a set i could get a designer at work to draw me up one, apart from one having wires are they identical left and right hand side?

I know of someone who has made some, they are a direct copy and high quality so dont come as cheap as some speculations.
he prices them at around £300 for a set so a saving from the second hand market, but not as cheap as people are saying on here.
Im going to get myself a set from him, and sell my OEM ones.

made from a quality material with all the time it will take for machining i would expect to pay £2-300 for a set
people expecting to pay £50-100 are dreaming as they wont be a mass produced item and that would barely cover material and labour costs.
id pay £2-300 for a set as that still cheaper then second hand honda ones.
how much does the witing for the heated rear screen cost tho?
