Tamora Hood bag

[Ant.]

Did the Tamora's come with a hood bag from the factory?

I did see a hood section advertised on t'bay that came with a hood bag, but wasn't sure if it was original or not.


My centre section has wear marks from the lower light covers in the boot.

There's a guy in West Yorks makes his own and sells them on PH for £42, Leven also stock them, but are about twice the price

I have the leven one , its very nicely made but not cheap . Interestingly looking in Bobs boot last year his roof section sat at a different angle to mine , no idea how that can be but mine has worn at the two front areas that sit on the light covers .

Dale if you recall it was also being stored in 2 black bin liners - yes it's come to that

If anyone is interested I have modified my boot strut bracket , the boot lid now opens about 40mm further toward the hood....

We don't use a bag, but have been told the griff ones fit.

Where did you get the modded hinge from?

[Ant.]

I made a copy of the original booylid bracket with an offset ball position.

Bought my Tam from new and didn't come with a hood cover. Leven one for the Griff/Chim fits though. After 7 years of use, mine is starting to look shabby.

As for boot hinge mod - there is a slightly easier way to do that:
unscrew the strut from both ends, place a rubber washer on the thread on each end and then put back on the car. Increases the angle of the boot lid when open, perhaps not by 40mm but certainly enough to make it much easier to get the roof in and out.

I bought that item, the bag is not a perfect fit so don't think it was originaly made for the Tamora, probably from a griff. only bought it for the bag but I do have plans for the roof section now, going to try to put a "sun roof" in it

My Tamora came with a hood bag not sure it was a factory item but it looks a simple piece of kit to make yourself. Mine has a Velcro flap to seal the bag closed and two grab straps for easy lifting .It's definitely worth having one. It's stops the roof been mark/damaged when I cram my tent and camping gear in for Le-Mans
