My car has plain steel hoops with the correct profile but which do not fold up.
I find that I either leave the hood at home in the garage or if I'm going on a long trip then I have it mounted on the body but sitting flat behind the seats and covered with a full width duck hood bag. There isn't really space in the boot for luggage and the hood so I'm not sure under what circumstances you would actually use the folding mechanism. Although it would obviously be nice to have it to original spec if you have the time to make one up.
