I think it would be pretty safe to assume that the hooks on the hardtop will be there. But you will need to check that the brackets on the soft top frame are there (as shown in PQD44's picture above).

When I bought my green hood I had to take the ones off my old black hood. They are quite small and not fixed to the frame itself. They are held in place by the bolts that secure the hood to the car.

I think those brilliant pics nail it guys.

Thanks you've got it spot on now but since my f tried to go on fire yesterday i wont be collecting the hardtop for a while

How far have you got to go to collect hard top Paul

I dont think so.

Just picked up oil and filter and when the hurricane stops i'll get out there and have a good look ramps at the ready and head torch lol

Sorry to hear of your problems Paul, hope you're back on the road soon.

Here are two good threads with lots of information regarding the hardtop

Thinking of Fitting a Hardtop? Things to Consider.

MGF Hood removal


Should just warn people new to MGF/TF ownership . Like myself, one of the first things, especially when you can see winter approaching, is you start thinking a hardtop will be a good idea.

However after purchasing one you'll find yourself on a sunny winter day wishing you could have a topless drive, you'll begin to dislike the hardtop as it denies you the spontaneous hood down pleasure of topless motoring. It will take up lots of space in your garage, shed or spare bedroom, you will eventually sell it on ebay and never regret having sold it.

Don't say I didn't warn you

Thanks Paul.

the car is now back up and running still a bit of smoke while it burns off the excess oil.

changed my mind about the hartop i thing my lil f was telling me NO
