Yes, it is the bracket for the J-Hook with a full size spare. Any pix or measurements from locating points would be great!

Thanks guys - the leak is at the seal, not at the fitting........looks like a bunch more money required. I have not tried "jumping" the breaker yet - will this week to see if that is the issue. Thanks for the insights. George

Restoration / Power Top Problem/Questions
« on: November 09, 2013, 08:07:27 PM »
I am in the final stages of my restoration and am putting the convertible top on. I have now found two problems.
1. the cylinders are leaking - can the they be repaired/rebuilt? Is it worth it? Who does this type of work? (they are $170 at NPD)
2. while raising and lowering the top, the power cuts out half way, like there is a circuit breaker getting too hot. After waiting a couple of minutes it works again. I cannot raise or lower it all the way without it cutting out. I replaced the switch - no good. It does not feel like it is getting hot anywhere. Any thoughts?

Restoration / Looking for Pix of installed 68 Headlamp Actuators
« on: April 20, 2013, 11:31:07 PM »
Does anyone have any pictures of installed headlamp actuators? I bought a pair of repops and am not sure which side is up. Do the front hose tubes attach from the top or bottom - do the rear tubes face toward the fender or the engine? The AIM is not too clear. I am also concerned the plastic fender covers may rub against the hoses. Thanks!

In reviewing with Daniel - he noted that Mono and Multi-Leaf had different lines. Mine is a Mono - anyone with Pics?

Restoration / 68 Left Rear Drum Brake Line Routing
« on: March 17, 2013, 01:49:56 PM »
Hi guys - another re-assembly question. I purchased new stainless brake lines from In-Line Tubing. So far, most have fit reasonably well. However, I am confused by the line that goes from the rear axle junction to the left rear backing plate. It looks like it loops around the rear of the shock versus just going straight down the axle to the backing plate. Is this right? The AIM does not have a detailed picture of this area. If anyone has a picture it would great! Thanks.

Mark, this appears to be an ignition switch - do you happen to have this for a 68 Light Switch? Thanks!

I think so - haven't found it yet - think it might be at the storage shed across town.

Mike and Lynn - thanks for the suggestions.
Mike - I have done some searching under every related topic I can think of, but cannot find the string on the misplaced wire. Any other thougths?
Lynn, The side markers are also on. I have the AIM and am looking at it. I replaced all the harnesses (for big $ to boot) with American Wire harnesses. Everything appeared to be high quality, but either I crossed a wire somewhere or the harness has a problem. Unfortunately, I had reassembled almost everything on the car before finding this problem.
I have searched to find a picture of an original RS switch connector to see if the harness pins are the same as the American Wire connector......but so far, no luck here either.

I have just replaced my wiring harnesses. Now, my parking lights will not turn off. I have check the ground on the driver side radiator core and at the instrument cluster. I thought the switch must be bad, so I just replaced it - no difference. Any one run into this?

Restoration / Re: 68 tilt steering column too long
« on: February 16, 2013, 02:34:29 AM »
Well my first thought was correct - I was an idiot. I did not realize it is a collapseable column. While pulling the steering wheel off, I must have lengthened the column. by standing it on end and pushing down, I has able to shorten the column enough to work.
