Convertible Top Frame Assembly Schematic

Does anyone have a link to where I can view the complete convertible top frame assembly and related components (motor, cylinders, hoses, etc.)? I have a '70 Cutlass Supreme Convertible. Thanks!

To the best of my knowledge there is no such picture.

There is definitely none in the FBM.

I suspect that the FBM is the Fisher Body Manual...

I'm thinking you may be right....

Wasn't there a separate manual just for con. tops also?

FBM: Fisher Body Manual.

Some unscrupulous eBay sellers sell xerox copies of Chapter 13: Folding Top as the "Convertible Top Manual" for more money than you'd pay for the whole FBM.

I haven't been able to find anything in the Fisher Body Manual. If anybody has any suggestions (or links) it would be much appreciated.

What exactly do you want to know? I have taken my top off, cleaned and rebuilt it (actually had to machine a new hinge bushing/bolt), so I may be able to help with whatever it is you want to know.

Wow, that is a busy diagram. I didn't realize there were so many parts - had I seen this before taking my top frame apart I may have been too intimidated to do it!
