OEM Hardtop Question

OEM Hardtop Question
Hi all had a question for you. I recently came across an amazing deal on a hardtop with the oem stand and cover. The hardtop itself has all the brackets and mounts attached to the hardtop still. What bracket or mount am I missing that should be attached to the car that I need to get? It's going on an 05 s2000. I purchased the hardtop through an estate sale. So seller did not have any other details on year of the top.

You are likely just missing the rear catchers.

Those. Which are stupid expensive. You can either order them new. Look for used ones but they rarely pop up my themselves. Or you could buy the forbidden OEM replica hardware and use that.

Man those are expensive lol. Been searching around do you know if any of the aftermarket companies sell just rear catchers? And will it work with some of the OEM brackets I already have?

Cost of the full set of brackets (front and rear) were we3l under $100. My OEM brackets are collecting dust somewhere, and are rising in value quicker than my 401k.
Here are the IZZY options and prices...

Thanks for the input guys I'll hold off and see if someone has a used catcher set. If not I'll look at the izzy ones. I was looking at using the oem and getting the heeltoe locks to keep people fromy taking the top. I know if they want it they'll get it but that was the plan

I ordered my OEM rear latches from Majestic Honda. Oh-and you don't need to order the soft top brushes on the sides, just use a Dremel and trim it yourself.

Thanks zdave. I'm still stuck on how much I got it for. Ended up paying 500.00 for everything cause the estate seller just wanted it gone. House was being taken back over by the bank.
