Dowel Pin Adjustment

Dowel Pin Assembly:





The side to side adjustment of the dowel pin is made possible by using the elongated slots in the folding top header. The steps required to make this adjustment are as follows:

1. Loosen pins.
2. Position dowel pins in slots (see figure) so the center lines of both pins are aligned with both holes (in the windshield header mounted striker) at the same time.
3. Tighten pins.

If the fore-aft position of the pins needs adjustments to the hole centers, the cam and/or front to center rail and/or control link adjustments may be used to make this adjustment. It may be necessary to adjust cams and/or control links differently from side to side to achieve proper alignment.
