Convertible top motor and hydraulic lines
« on: April 27, 2023, 11:39:48 PM »

I assume that the convertible top motor and the hydraulic lines are the same for all years but since I am working on a 65 Mustang will post in this section. 
Putting together all the lines best I could tell is correct but just wanted to confirm.  Unfortunately the photos I took on disassembly are not clear enough where you can see what lines are going where....so I know there is a 50% chance I am correct.

I have the lines that go to the front of the motor route down to the bottom of the cylinders now.  I assume if this is wrong then the top switch will work backwards. 
Pictures here of current set up....

The routing is shown in the "1965 Mustang Body Assembly Manual" (AM0006) pg 58.
Need I go into more?
