Rear boot hinges...

looks like the new owner is fed up already = http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1985-TVR-SILVER-/3316002...
Indeed, my '86 SEAC has internal hinges - it has a metal bar glassed in under the rear deck and the hinges curve under the lip. As Jim says, bad idea as you can't get the roof in horizontally.
I say curve - this being a TVR it's made up of straight bits welded together. I guess it's another of those ideas that TVR tried for a while then gave up on.

As has been said we have wedges with boots of different sizes so nothings a simple swapover.
I think this would be a job for a hot rod shop as they specialize in that 'clean' look.
Something here may work:

I believe I'm right in saying that the 400SE has a similar boot hinge arrangement to the bonnet; with horizontal bolts going out into captive nuts in the shell. That's how a 450SEAC I looked at was set up. Not easy to replicate on a 350i.
Correct... I didn't know that all the hidden hinged boots weren't like that!Boot hinges...Mmmm...Im happy with the external type on my 350i but it does open up the question of .."Is there another way"?...Maybe something like this...
Although it looks like it might be a bit difficult to fit on a Wedge and you would still need a hinge as such...
