Most people prefer manual as the hydrolic ones can cause a lot off problems :)

Aren't manual set-ups lighter too?

Think it all depends on the condition/strength of the motors and condition of frame/hood etc etc

Pics?

I might be interested if it's complete and known to be good. Hydraulic hoods are Motorsport only IIRC?

They had electro mechanical hood operation, earlier cars had the electro hydrolic system.
