Please help identifying what hardware came on this hardtop. I purchased it and I am planning to paint black and install it on my 1995 RT/10. What you see is all that I have. It has short straight pins in the front that sit inside the holes where my soft top latches attach. Maybe which manufacturer made it. Although I’m assuming they are out of business. I could possibly fab some hardware, but a pic of the original would be very helpful. I have searched the forum and many for sale adds, but all are different. Such as Mopar,
Autoform, AP Engineering, Northwind Engineering, Vipermania?…
TIA

Just when I thought I’ve seen all the different hard tops….I am truly clueless on this one and have no idea how it would even be fastened down to stay on the car.

Looks like a Vipermania top. Original windows might work with it. Does it include all the associated hardware?

It didn’t come with any hardware. I purchased it and I am planning to paint it black and install it on my 1995 RT/10.

Yes it has threaded inserts with 1/4-28 threads. I was thinking I could fab up some Z-brackets, but I wouldn’t be able to adjust the tension.

Ok folks, I did confirm it is carbon fiber when I started prepping for the new paint. I have searched for vipermania hardtop pics and they look different. Any ideas? Or pics? Any help would be very appreciated!

Yes it is extremely light and I was assuming it was carbon fiber. As I started sanding the clear coat I could see the carbon fiber pattern shown in the pic.

Jeff Lemke made the BEST top EVER for a Gen. II, maybe you can see it on my Steel Grey 2000, I haven't posted a pic cause I don't know how since then!

I thought so at first, but the bottom side is a different design.

Ok folks, a member sent me pics of the required hardware! I wanted to share it here in hopes that it may help someone else. However I still don’t know the manufacturer.
