Cam Adjustment

Cam Assembly:

The cam assembly is used to change the position of the folding top header in relation to the windshield header. The cam turns inside the rear side rail and thrust link. When rotated, it changes the relationship between the front and rear side rails by moving the thrust link forward or rearward. It may be necessary to lengthen the control links 1 or 2 serrations after a cam adjustment. The position of the cam high side determines the angle between the center and rear side rails. When the high side is fully forward, the angle is at a minimum, and when turned rearward, the angle is increased. An increased angle increases the forward "throw" of the entire top assembly. The cam high side is indicated by a dart (arrow) on the cam threaded end.

Before adjusting, place top in half raised position to remove all possible strain from the cam. Loosen Phillips head screw, tap cam threaded end with a soft faced hammer to loosen any paint bond between cam and linkage. Using a 3/16" Allen wrench cam, as necessary, tighten Phillips head screw.
