Ace 'Brooklands' Forum / Brooklands hood

« on: July 15, 2008, 23:38:55 »

The electric mechanism has failed. The light flashes by the hand brake but no sound from the pumps motor. When trying to raise it manually the top comes up ok but the rear does not come up far enough for the tonneau to clear it. The rams for this seemed stuck but on diconnecting these they were quite free. The fault seems to be that the rear section has folded too far, over centre and jammed. I have with the help of my son tried to force the rear down but no joy. I have noticed that two screw headed bolts, which the hood pivots on have come adrift on one side so the whole hood off to get at these.
   a.Has anyone had a similar problem? What was the remedy?
   b.What oil is used in the hydraulic reservoir? There is a layer of gunge in the bottom, so will clean out and refill.
   c.Is there a fuse anywhere for the hood motor?
   d.a wiring diagram would be useful. no mention of a hood in either of the fuse boxes.
   e.Did Karmann have anything to do with the design and manufacture.
