Hi all! Took my Jensen Convert to a Brit Car show
today, I also had to rewire manual switches to override faulty microswitches
& wiring between relays to make top action dependable, but agree that
ATF is the hydraulic fluid used in the convert hydraulic system for the power
top. Jensen also used Chrysler hydraulic rams. On the Jensen the tubing is
hard plastic lines -leaks are pretty obvious, getting to the lines is another
story. But manually operating the pump is a 1st step to determing the
effectiveness of the system.
On the 5 AC front (Tony), I bought today a complete
test kit with glasses, dyes, light etc for a whopping $45- a good investment.
Wish my 56 Dodge had AC, but I I have become pretty good at converting R-12 to
R134a systems and retrofits. Anytime you have remote units or components-there
are lots of connections- these must be located first and then each checked for
leaking. sometimes oil will leave a trace-- just my experience with Jags &
Jensens which use GM & Chrysler components from the 60's and
70's...
