photo wanted - cab owners

[glenbat]

can someone take a photo of the motor etc thats under the horse shoe that covers the roof when its down? The monkeys who owned my cab before me 'disconnected' it as the self arming alarm kept trying to put the roof up while the hard top was on

At present theres just 2 cables laying in there, and on the horse shoe cover theres a bracket on the centre that at present is connected to sod all
I'm assuming some sort of motor goes there?

pllllease help!

too complicated to explain/photo.
have a look at this for exploded diargams

or do a search in the tec section under "hood" and lots will come up
my advice is take it to a specialist and get them to set it up unless you are very competent. try stuart or russell at BMWorx in Stoke Mandeville (say Guy sent you) . get the syncro and timing wrong and that hood motor will bend the connecting rods like spaghetti.
how do i know........
