1941 Ford Convertible Motor/Lift Lower Mounting

[J.D.G.]

Does anyone have a diagram or picture of how the electric convertible top motor/lifts mount to the floor? My service bulletin book doesn’t show mounting details. Not sure if I’m missing any brackets or if I have them where they go. Any direction would greatly be appreciated.

I installed my top frame and connected the motors/transmissions. What are they supposed to bolt down to? What am I missing here?

Not sure this helps (darn if it isn't messy under there), but here we go....

That single stiff wire seem to be some attempt at an earth wire by the previous owner.


The top was very slow to operate (take about 4 -5 min) so eventually I disconnected the actuators and I operate the top by hand.

Thank you so much. Guess my holes disappeared with rust repairs by the previous owner. Sounds like most ‘41s are just disconnected from what I’m coming across.

On the 41 the mechanism can be a little 'grabby' if the two motor screw lift adjustment gets out of line. So by the time you have stopped to help it along and such, a manual top is a faster and appealing option.

Do you happen to have the wiring diagram? I've been searching for this for my convertible. Thanks!

I'd love to see a wiring diagram also.....Anyone holding?

[J.D.G.]

I’d love a diagram too. The motors that came out of the car have four wires each but my nos motors only have three (looks like they don’t have a red wire). I have a switch with some wire still attached but it’s hard to tell the colors of the wires. I assume the switch and the motors were the only components in the system.
