All,

I have searched this, but to no avail. I'm helping a friend get his 46 convertible top to work.

The car is stock 6V +ve earth and has a hydro electric system. Pump mounted on the firewall and hydraulic rams in the rear.

The pump runs and rams move, but I'm able to get the hydraulic pump solenoid to operate. I'm told a 12V replacement solenoid will work on 6V, but I have my doubts

Is anyone able to provide a wiring schematic for this system? I'm keen to understand the working of the actuator switch and directional hydraulic valve.

Many thanks
